This was a memory I wanted to keep, whole, and recall again and again. When I was fifty years old I wanted to remember this moment on the porch, holding hands with Cameron while he shared himself with me. I didn’t want it to be something on the fringes of my memory like so many other things about Cameron and myself.

That's how life feels to me. Everyone is doing it everyone knows how. To live and be who they are and find a place, find a moment. I'm still waiting.

. . .There are certain people who come into your life, and leave a mark. . . Their place in your heart is tender a bruise of longing, a pulse of unfinished business. Just hearing their names pushes and pulls at you in a hundred ways, and when you try to define those hundred ways, describe them even to yourself, words are useless.

A know a place called New Beginnings, but I don't think it works quite like that. You can't just erase everything that came before.
