“I have no fear of losing you, for you aren’t an object of my property, or anyone else’s. I love you as you are, without attachment, without fears, without conditions, without egoism, trying not to absorb you. I love you freely because I love your freedom, as well as mine.”

My Mum died suddenly on September 4th, 2006. After she died, I realized how much she’d been shielding from my father’s mental state.He doesn’t have alzheimers, but he has no short - term memory, and is often lost.
I took him to the funeral, but when we got home, he kept asking me every 15 minutes where my mother was. I had to explain over and over again, that she had died. This was shocking news to him.
Why had no one told him?. Why hadn’t I taken him to the funeral?. Why hadn’t he visted her in the hospital?
He had no memory of these events.
After awhile, I realized I couldn’t keep telling him that his wife had died. He didn’t remember, and it was killing both of us, to constantly re-live her death.
I decided to tell him she’d gone to Paris, to take care of her brother, who was sick. And that’s where she is now.This is a journal. An ongoing record of my father, and of our relationship.
For whatever days we have left together.Read More http://www.dayswithmyfather.com

“There are two ways to reach me: by way of kisses or by way of the imagination. But there is a hierarchy: the kisses alone don’t work.”
Anaïs Nin (via finnaidraumi)“It was when my little brother, who was two and a half years younger than I, died at eighteen months. My mother some days later found his footprints in the yard and tried to build something over it to keep the wind from blowing it away. That’s the most powerful image I’ve ever known.”

The La’s - There She Goes
Because the original version is far superior to the Sixpence None The Richer version. And, the story of Lee Mavers is really kinda sad, and out of print.
