it's Tuesday, which is my birthday of course, and also Deadliest Catch day-- an added bonus. One of the few television shows I follow. One of the few shows that are worth following, really. I fangirl over this show ( Read more... )

with you two as parents, I don't see how he could miss such important lessons. The lifestyle that you and Brad provide for him may be idyllic by comparison, but at the end of the day you're still Brad and Trina, and --both together and separately-- you've each weathered enough to know how to appreciate what you have.

also, my mother did something very similar for me for Easter one year. I went on a hunt around my entire house, each new hidey spot revealing another tiny little trinket and another more elaborate clue. Like you, it sticks out in my mind more than any other thing I got as a child.

I hope so. I think perhaps the fact that it's congealed as a worry in my mind is probably a good sign.

I think I'm going to have to make sure Ethan has a scavenger hunt in a few years.

Wow, this was amazing to read. Have you considered having it published somewhere?

silveredmadness June 25 2008, 16:20:57 UTC

No; I just wrote it last night actually. Had to pause Deadliest Catch and jot it down since it was too late to call my parents. Usually stuff like this goes in my offline journal, but I couldn't seem to find it.

I haven't a clue where to think about publishing it, honestly. I follow fiction markets more closely than creative nonfic magazines.

Thank you for the compliments. Especially pertinent coming from a fellow English major :)

Go English majors!

I was very moved by it. A friend of mine pointed this site out to me earlier, and I think you'd also like it.

Heh. I actually just saw it linked off your LJ and am currently browsing through the various essays there.

It's easy to forget sometimes, isn't it?
