LP and KP - Por El Mar

...aqui se ven contentas no?...these two, swimming through and around each others' lives and paths and daughters, stuck with the same father and vocabulary and education but with different memories of the same time, similar features but different motivations...m.o....movements...i am not saying it is easy to raise or care for a family or raise daughters or even stay in the picture for the entirety of childhood...but i am saying that unconditional love is all that is expected of you and you cannot withhold the one thing that is required of you as a father...we do not barter / trade with that...that's the basis, the base...i have always marveled at how wonderful the two of them turned out, given where they came from...no insult there, as i know the man himself would justify himself to the ends of the earth, where he would find himself alone in a cabin by the water, deaf to almost everything, never realizing that most people at this point are humoring him, and not taking him seriously...for all his seriousness...seriously...some choose heart over thought, some choose calculation over gut, some compare beauty to brains, success over passion...i choose all of the above, and recognize in my mother and my aunt the existence of infinite combinations of traits like these within each of them.
