There's so much power and emotion in my relationships with the girls, so much at stake; it's the one relationship I can't ever, ever walk away from, fake, or ignore--when the vulnerability comes into that realm (and that realm is omnipresent in my world now, most especially now that there's no spouse to pass it off to or even divide it up with as I assume most people do), it's huge, it's vast, it's terrifying but I can't run away and so I chow down. And think vague exciting thoughts about being a writer.
