To “Her”:
In my mind, the way everything works out is supposed to be like a movie. Obiously what is happening right now would be similar to coming up on the end of a really depressing movie. Maybe the audience of our movie doesn’t get to know if the Woman in it learns anything from this situation or not… if there is anything to learn, but instead the story goes on like it has to. Maybe during this scene the daughter’s emotions are what the story is really about. And this is the point where there’s supposed to be the touching few scenes at the Atlantic Ocean, and then the credits roll and people get up while others sit and quietly cry. But this isn’t a movie, and these emotions aren’t a parable or a lesson and there isn’t a moral to this story. This is what is. And that’s what we have with each other, all of us. What makes you better than any heroine in any screenplay that time has or ever will provide, is that the person in the theater quietly crying is you; in spite of everything that has happened you can mourn her now and when the credits finally roll.
My thoughts are with you.
