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

7 June, 2005 /

I told you about the ‘flash wars’ this weekend. When I got home and I downloaded the pictures I found about 75 that looked just like this! I deleted a lot of them, but there were some I kept…because of that smile my sister has. It’s the smile she has when she’s laughing really hard.

When I was showing Mom the pictures that I had taken from our trip up to Shingletown she saw this one and said, “Ewww, delete that one!”
I kept it because I love her hands. I have hands just like hers and someday my hands of my baby girls will look just like these. I think they are beautiful.

unfortunately, we will have her feet too…but I don’t think anyone wants to see THOSE pictures!
