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

Respect your haters. They are the ones who think you are better than them. -Unknown

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

Senior Fall Play

29 October, 2010 /

Kara is in a play, originally uploaded by Random and Odd.

My wonderful daughter was in last night’s play and I couldn’t be more proud!!

I love the woman she has become. As a parent all I can say is I can look back at her time in High School and be proud of the daughter I raised and the person she became.

Every time she came on stage, I wanted to cry out of pride. “that’s my daughter right there!” is what I wanted to tell anyone who would listen. Instead I just sat that and tried not to let anyone see how weepy I was.

No one ever told me that being a parent would be this amazing and emotional.
