one week from today.

i'm one week away

from the day that

my gift to madeline

becomes something that

people will publicly

judge, both

positively and negatively.

some will praise

the "story," some will

criticize the writing.

some will find

something to

relate to and

others will wonder

how the hell

i "did it."

i'm ready for all

of that,

but more than

anything, i hope that

someday my daughter

reads it and

realizes just how

much i love her.

  2. I was so excited to find the book in my mailbox this past Tuesday. I wanted to save it for the plane ride to Florida this weekend but I couldn't resist and am now a few chapters in. So far I'm completely enthalled. I too lost my love and became a single parent in what seemed like a swish of air.

    Thank you for sharing your story. I'm an avid reader of your blog and have found your words comforting on many a sad day. The fact that someone can say what I'm often times feeling helps me to feel "normal" in a world where since losing my love, I often feel like an outsider.
