the river

the river i took walks alongside my youngest in the summer of 2008. tomorrow she is going to be 23 years old.

i've found my ice skates and en pointe toe shoes from when i was a teenager, in the garage. it's being boxed up alongside the pics and cards and letters and drawings from my 3 daughters, friends and family.i found my high school photo today in the bottom of an old chest of drawers.it's dusted off and packed. i skated as a teen.
