i dug out some old photos of my parents today while looking for a picture for hatch. i looked thru them all before i took a deep breath and cracked open the last one – their wedding album. it's very bittersweet. although, more sweet than bitter. one thing i noticed for the first time (i haven't looked at that album in probably 15 years) was a clipping from a newspaper in the UK. when i see stuff like that i can't help but wonder what the hell happened. even though i was there, and i already know. regardless, it's beautiful. it's my prologue, and for that i'm very happy.
my mom's maid of honour married my dad's best man. they're divorced too.sometimes i long for the small world of childhood, when i wasn't aware there was a whole other world out there (many actually) and all i could imagine was within the confines of my reality.
i've found the velvet sun that shines on me and you.

Wow! I can't believe how much Joy looks like your mom. You seem to take after your dad, but not in such a drastic way.
yup! it's true. there are other pictures of my mom where it just looks like my sisters face and it's really trippy. i definitely take after my dad. that photo doesn't show it very well. i have another entry that has a picture of my dad that i think strongly resembles me. it's all in the eyes. although, the photo of my mom in that entry has some hints of lesley too.
