Even if they hated "Bridges of Madison County." Unfortunately, we don't get to ever see some of them. Or we only see a shred. I want to cry when I think of all the stories lost forever.<br /><br />I've promised reader Danielle that I will write more about myself. And I am sturdying myself for that (not really a verb, that one, sturdying). I am a fortunate soul to be where I am now, but got a bit lost along the way, enough that my teenage son would be completely shocked and of course that's exactly the kind of thing I would like to read about someone else. So I will need to write it.<br /><br />When I started this blog, I said if people are going to do me the honor of spending their precious time here, I will do my very best to give them something in kind: a tiny bit of real, even if it hurts.Glimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085124664342701611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3418587863501292816.post-33422819671468474832010-01-16T14:09:40.878-08:002010-01-16T14:09:40.878-08:00When I read your life stories it helps me to see t...When I read your life stories it helps me to see that someday I too will be able to write so openly and with respect. The untold stories that as children we are not given and possibly never know until perhaps someone who did know lets the story unfold. Yes, how many women who had a true love and died in a war find themselves with a new man, build a life but who never fully let that love go...lovely...Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912709342270151365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3418587863501292816.post-52041137153955270302009-03-06T10:13:00.000-08:002009-03-06T10:13:00.000-08:00It's good to "talk" about something that was forbi...It's good to "talk" about something that was forbidden, because the pain was too great and it wasn't mine.

This story pulled me along, like I was holding hands with you at 14, watching, confused, bated breath, never thinking of your mother as a young woman with passion. There are loves that are so big because the hearts of the two lovers become entwined in a spiritual way many never feel. It is sad, too, that when those loves are never able to mature, to be tested, to thread through 60 years of real life, they are lodged someplace that is ever frozen, other worldly and fragile. You are SUCH a good story teller. I want to hear many more about your people and your heritage. I'm hooked!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105270971959281644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3418587863501292816.post-84793237284557574402009-03-03T19:21:00.000-08:002009-03-03T19:21:00.000-08:00And such a sad one...
