You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Happy Birthday Mommy!

6 November, 2006 /

I have the best mommy in the world. You might think your mom is the best. Mine is not only the best, she is the coolest. That is why we call her the Fonz.

I’m not going to make her cry this year by saying stuff all mushy. Just know that for her birthday I took Kara to get her toenails done to let her see how much I love her.
If she feels half as much love as you showed me growing up, I will count myself blessed and very, very loved.

Happy Birthday, Fonz.
