In the way so many people grow apart, I suppose, grow into something different than they intended, without any understanding of how to get themselves back? <br /><br /> I do say failed, because my ending does feel so like a failure to me... an avoidable descent we failed to check or reroute or rescue, maybe. <br /><br />We get trapped in our parents patterns, I suppose. <br /><br />Of course it's not a failure if you move onwards and upwards and on to the new thing, rejuvinated by the change instead of being dragged down with it. This story made me think a lot. <br /><br />I love how the lover is both on the cusp of becoming what he already has, and sympathetic to both his future wife and his future self. It's very strong.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-79982099124917031482011-08-30T12:29:01.682-07:002011-08-30T12:29:01.682-07:00Thanks so much for the nice words about the storie...Thanks so much for the nice words about the stories. I have to admit that story was a hard one to write, because I know that I was thinking about my own ended marriage (I won't say failed, because it was good for a long time before it wasn't good anymore). Oddly, the story started as an 'affair story' -- I wrote the entire first draft before I realized that she wasn't having sex with a stranger, but with a man she'd known for a very long time...Shanna Germainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277611199517242974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-26004821081911280822011-08-30T07:40:17.188-07:002011-08-30T07:40:17.188-07:00I have to read it too.

Though I suspect it will do my head in, as it has yours... <br />I've been thinking about it all day. <br />There are lots of little things I would go back to and change, but I can't help but think that if you change just one tiny thing, that I wouldn't have the kids that I have today. And I wouldn't, for anything, wish to change that. (Though at 3 in the morning when I am up for the 2nd time already, I might disagree)<br /> Anyways, I think I will track down a copy and read it.
