It’s been a very long time . . .

Since I last posted. No excuses except that I’m hip deep, okay, maybe neck deep in writing Wife 22. My life right now consists of sitting at my desk, taking the dog for a walk at lunch, returning to my desk and driving like a maniac so I don’t miss pickup at my son’s school. I hope to be done with Wife 22 by early summer at which time I’ll become Wife 1 again which I’m sure will make Husband 1 ver

Quotes by Melanie Gideon (?)

“For the first half of your life each minute feels like a year, but for the second half, each year feels like a minute.”
― Melanie Gideon, Wife 22

“What was unspoken between us, what need never be explained or said, was that nobody would ever love us again like our mothers did. Yes, we would be loved, by our fathers, our friends, our siblings, our aunts and uncles and grandparents and spouses--and our children if we chose to have them--but never would we experience that kind of unconditional, nothing-you-can-do-will-turn-me-away-from-you kind of mother love.”
― Melanie Gideon, Wife 22

“All I have to say is - run, dive, pitch a tent... Spend hours on the phone with your best friend.... Wear bikinis. Drink tequila. Wake up in the morning happy for no good reason.... Lie in the grass, dream of your future, of your imperfect life & your imperfect marriage to your imperfect true love.... Because what else is there? Honestly, there's nothing else. Nothing else matters.”
― Melanie Gideon, Wife 22
