What do you want me to say? That I had a happy, idyllic childhood. Played tea-party with my sister. Picked up shells barefoot on the beach. Took pictures of happy, smiling faces of enduring love with a camera that still used film. Went swimming with my father, mother, younger brother and sister. Soon realized though that all children have a complex about themselves. I don't own the bragging rights to having a manic depressive father, a hot, moneyed, glamorous, glossy-haired, well-traveled sister who lives in spiritual poverty and who I think has no wisdom, only a terrifying book-knowledge about numbers. And she's the go-to-person if we need financial advice. But enough about me. Yes, from an adult perspective I can honestly say I love my parents. For what it's worth they are still married but they lead separate lives. They sleep in separate beds. I'm glad I'm not married. I'm glad I didn't have those kids. No sunny road for me. No Canada for me either. I have chosen 'the self-imposed exile' of a writer. It suits me. Sometimes I go outside, sit in my mother's garden, meditate and tell myself that I was one of the lucky ones. cute teddy bear names
