I try to laugh about it now
but isn't it funny how everything works out?
'I guess the joke's on me,' she said.


I found this letter from A. in my summer camp stuff. You know, patches, pictures, 'I'll miss you' notes. It's from Summer 1997. Excerpts follow.

I like seeing you happy. It makes me happy to see your radiant smile or to hear your laughter. Those are two of my favourite things in the world. I tried not to mention when I was worried or upset because I didn't want to rock an already unstady boat. I told myself that once that was all over... once we were together and got out here... it would all work itself out.

These issues that trouble us now - some are new and some are not so new. What has happened to us, love? Have we lost some vital connection?

You untied your knots... knots of worry and concerns. And yet now I find myself tying my own knots. I fear that my words are now cheap and unconvincing like a politician's campaign promises. I fear that you feel distanced from me...


Four years ago. Two years before the wedding. Where the hell was my head?
