We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

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

4 December, 2006 /

Shaun’s ex was robbed and assaulted at gunpoint at her apartment on Friday night. She was beat with the butt of the pistol on her head. She’s still alive, but pretty bruised up and emotionally and physically in pain.

Shaun and I picked her up from the ER on Saturday morning around 1 am and brought her back to our house and she’s staying here until she gets better and decides what to do. We also have baby J here with us. Shaun is in all his glory with ‘little man’. Our Flickr site will be filled with pictures of him while he’s here.

My posts will be short as I finally have gotten close enough to Jeremiah where I can cart him around on my hip while Shaun’s ex takes a shower and relaxes without him freaking out.

I also think I crushed my pelvis bone…badly. Go ahead and try to figure that one out, it’s always fun to see what your sick and twisted readers come up with.
