Memories flow when floaty music plays and you watch kids getting married…
What kids you were, traipsing back up that isle, posing beside cake and fountainy arrangements
with lovely silk flowers,
with your hair the way you kept it, because the fancy do your mom’s friend proposed just
wasn’t right.
Not for now and as long as you both were going to live.
And living was a much bigger job than you could imagine, then,
bigger, fuller, tougher, duller, sharper. Deeper.
More stretched and gritty and scene-filled.



I love the category ~ it is !

life, not so much, but I’ll stick with real.

Aw, you just said it, Deb. Thanks. My daughter “restored” the photo on the computer. She gets stuff like that, while I’m lucky to simply get it onto the blog. :o)
