A year

"O that day! One kept waiting for that shattering day to unhappen, so that the real -- the intended -- future, the one that had been implied by the past, could unfold. Hour after hour, month after month, waiting for that day to not have happened. But it had happened. And now it was always going to have happened."
-- Deborah Eisenberg, "Twilight of the Superheroes"

A year.
Crystal writes and says that the one thing that changes after this day is that not every thing is a first.

No getting over, around or even through. I don't sense that need. Walking onward, yes, but also walking with, being, and I'm okay with that. The boys and I decided that first night that it was time to canoe, so we are.
