"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms



"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey sequence of bumping into's and tumblings apart."
~ Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

Amber & Brooke 


Amber, I cannot believe you are graduating from college this week with degree in history.

(Time still continues to mystify me)

Brooke, I can't believe you are touching lives as an EMT and becoming a paramedic. 

You were both beautiful little girls yesterday and today you are beautiful, intelligent and confident 
women.

For some reason you have both gone down branches of the river of my passions, dreams and love.

You are both pursuing your interests brilliantly and amazingly. 

I am so proud of each of you and filled with joy when I think about how you are moving 
courageously through life.



From your first breath

I have loved you

So know

If…

All the music ever stops

If…

All the words are ever spoken

And there is nothing left

Only…

“The stillness between two waves of the sea…”

In the silence of the night

When the light seems distant

I will always come to you

With my love


(U2 - Original Of The Species)

    Amber & Brooke are so blessed that you are their dad. Beautiful words given to them. They also must be so thankful you are their loving & caring dad.
