Not here at the moment, out searching for something I lost. Please leave a message after the beep.

"No, after Rachel left for college there was a hole, I mean you know, no more homework, no more little league, recitals, school plays, kids crying, fights, skinned knees.  And for the first time in 40 years I looked at Virginia without all the noise, without all the distractions, and I couldn’t remember what it felt like when I could not walk down the street without holding her hand.  She was the same woman I fell in love with, she hadn’t changed, but somehow everything was different.  We had lost something along the way, ya know?" - Carter 

I never intended this blogspot to be a heavy gaze into my soul and struggles, but as late my soul and struggles have been heavy so I guess this my faithful reader is what you get.  

The above quote comes from the movie The Bucket List.  Carter is a terminally ill older man who decides to travel the world and accomplish things that he has always wanted to do before he passes away.  In this instance Carter is discussing his current relationship with his wife and why he chose to go on this trip rather than to be with her in his dying days.  

This quote struck a chord with me and I can't stop thinking about it.  I will leave you here to draw whatever implications from this quote that you desire for your life and my own.  I am not in much of a talkative mood tonight.  I will leave you to figure it out on your own.  Have fun :)
