I fell in love from a hopeless place

This morning despite the extra hour, I was bouf! Too much wine last night and late night TV left me weary and confused this morning.

Last thing I remember before falling asleep was the whirling pool in my head; thank heavens for the escape in sleep.

When I eventually surfaced - I don't know what time it was, I was still confused about which household appliances turn back themselves - I opened a drawer to get something to wear, and found this photo.

I haven't seen it in ages, seems like forever, but I seen it and I picked It up, held it to my heart and sat on my bed. And then I sat for twenty minutes just staring at it and remembering that day.

It's the 30th July 1994 about seven o'clock in the evening. The little Boy is two years and ten months old; the little Tooli is four and a half hours. The Man is 34.

I was at the other end of the bed, coming out of my diazepam induced haze, smiling in wonder at my little family and wondering where we would all be in years to come.

And here we are, 18 years and three months down the road, that little cute dude is in USA, apparently crime fighting in Spandex!!! And the little Baby is 18, and Laying on the couch recovering from a night on the tiles! The man is still by my side, still looking at me like that and still holding his kids to his heart

This is why Blipland is so special and so great - it lets us keep our memories and stories alive to share.
