Letting go.: I can't understand how and why couples break up.
They loved each other so much from the very beginning yet they will throw away all the happy memories that they had. He courted her because he loves her. She said yes because she also fell in love with him. They were so happy. Nobody thought that they will ever break up. They were inseparable, the…

“I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong.”

“How do people stay in love, anyway? Is it a choice? Or is it like those plants we studied in biology that mutate into something new and totally different but are still part of the same plant family?
I’ve never been in love. I will die without knowing what it feels like to need to see one person’s face when you go to sleep at night, to crave seeing it when you wake up. I wish I knew.”

My kids were a little behind this morning. As they started walking down the driveway the bus comes around the corner and they freak out like only little kids do….
Madison screams “Run Bubby, Richards here!
(like their bus driver has ever left them)
They take off running and I’m just standing there laughing because as I’m watching Madison I realize my 12 year old runs exactly like Phoebe off of Friends.
Thanks little girl for the early morning laugh.

I went to give my babies a hug and kiss before they fell asleep and both of them are laying in bed reading ( Ethan’s has Junie B Jones and Madison has Art Geeks and Prom Queens) while Hop is on T.V pretty much just being background sound for them. They were so absorbed in their stories they barely even noticed me.

![In the late 1880s, the body of a 16-year-old girl was pulled from the Seine. She was apparently a suicide, as her body showed no marks of violence, but her beauty and her enigmatic smile led a Paris pathologist to order a plaster death mask of her face.
In the romantic atmosphere of fin de siècle Europe, the girl’s face became an ideal of feminine beauty. The protagonist of Rainer Maria Rilke’s 1910 novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge writes, “The mouleur, whose shop I pass every day, has hung two plaster masks beside his door. [One is] the face of the young drowned woman, which they took a cast of in the morgue, because it was beautiful, because it smiled, because it smiled so deceptively, as if it knew.”
Ironically, in 1958 the anonymous girl’s features were used to model the first-aid mannequin Rescue Annie, on which thousands of students have practiced CPR. Though the girl’s identity remains a mystery, her face, it’s said, has become “the most kissed face of all time.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpkonlVMgO1qge141o1_500.jpg)
