The world turns.
Not so quickly as you see it move, but over the course of these past couple of months things have changed, and dramatically so.
Dad’s fighting cancer. He’ fighting with dignity and stoicism that makes me very proud. But there is no escaping this thing. This is where the happily ever afters end, and the end of a man’s life begins.
Tracy’s and Adrian’s marriage looms ever closer. Mum’s retirement too. Giles and Jackie have begun their new life, in that other land of seals. Dave and Maram count the days until their new member of the family is born. The people that form the landscape of my emotional life have all changed positions. For years, I seemed to have played the part of a minor landmark, static and unchanging through the years. Finally that seems to be changing. I’m playing a new part, a significant part in the life of a woman called Clara (klair-rah).
I’ve never been very good at seeing where these things are going, or maybe they have ended in tears so often that I no longer dare to look, or think about tomorrow. It doesn’t seem to matter, because today is good. And maybe thats all we can ask for.
