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

Dear Kara,

10 July, 2005 /

Since you’re up in Redding with the Fonz for the week doing all kinds of fun stuff, we decided to do something fun this weekend too. We didn’t go to Alcatraz without you though. Just Fisherman’s Wharf & the Golden Gate Bridge.

I put all the pictures up on Flickr so if you’re bored up there at Grandma Fonz’s house you can go look at all the great fun we had.

Yeah, like you’re actually going to read this, YOU’RE too busy shopping, going to the lake and horseback riding.

We miss you Kara Bear…come home soon!
