Ella’s birthday was this weekend. Thura came from Vegas and our families from Phoenix to help us celebrate my little girl. It was a beautiful thing to see Thura together again. It was as if we just picked up where we left off. Sunday afternoon we target practiced on our back porch with my pellet gun. The targets escalated or should I say shrank as the night pored in. We ended up bustin’ some bottle caps at 10 paces. All in all I found peace in their company.
Today Ella went to have her 2 year check up. I split like a gazelle when the shots, all three of them, came in on a tray.
“I love my daughter very much and if you make her cry, I’ll make you cry.”
Exposing Myself on a Regular Basis
“All this is flashy rhetoric about loving you. I never had a selfless thought since I was born. I am mercenary and self-seeking through and through: I want God, you, all friends, merely to serve my turn. Peace, re-assurance, pleasure, are the goals I seek, I cannot crawl one inch outside my proper skin: I talk of love -a scholar's parrot may talk Greek- But, self-imprisoned, always end where I begin." - C S Lewis
