I don't know...
I haven't forgotten this website- on the contrary, I visit it quite often and read other people's stories. But I haven't put any of my own on here yet... I don't know, I guess I just prefer to keep them private. I will dare to put them in front of the public one day!

6 June 2006
6 June 2006 I am on the plane with my two children, for hours upon hours. The flight is so long; we have to change planes and then drive another 100 miles from the airport to my parents' house. I watch Brokeback Mountain three times during the flight; by the second and third showings, I only watch the sex and kissing scenes, and the scene where Ennis finds his shirt wrapped inside Jack's. In the dimness of the plane, with all the windowscreens shut, I cry. Three times. The kids, engrossed in Cartoon Network, scarcely notice.

Death of the Matriarch
3 June 2006 I am having lunch in the sunny garden of a friend's sister's house when I get the phone call. It's my husband. "You need to call your mother as soon as possible. It's your gran."
