[...] can’t dodge, so why subject myself to memories of a time when our future was bright? When it held babies and Italian farmhouses, rather than stilted emails about who’s in possession of the nice green bath [...]

I tried to leave my replies under the specific comments, but this invoked the evil gods of random backslashes. So.

Mom & Denise: THIS is Christian Bale.

That is what I’ve always pictured Italy to be. Sounds amazing. I think you should make efforts to move there. Think what an awesome adventure that would be. Plus, I’ve always thought raising children in foreign lands sounds fun. Maybe that’s just because I wish I’d been raised in a foreign country.
My husband and I encountered the same reaction from my mom that you got from yours in regards to moving abroad. We already have a kid which I think would make it harder, as now my mom is attached. The thing is my husband is not American and so we would be moving to Brasil where his entire family is. We went there a few months ago for vacation and I just fell in love. If and when we get the job/money situation figured out, I think we’ll be going. I’ve found, though, that it’s best to not really talk about this with my mom. Or if I do, I pretend that its a far-off dream and she acts like she knows we’ll never go. Fortunately, my mom and dad are much better off than my husband’s family so they would be much more able and likely to visit.
So, yeah. Italy sounds good. Plus if they’ve got lots of fried polenta around. Man, that stuff is good!!

We had the thunderstorm last night. Right after we chatted. (And right after I jumped the cliff! I am worried it was a bad sign but so far I’m flying…) It last three hours, and some houses flooded under a foot of water so I feel kind of bad about enjoying it. The lightning was rad, though.

I think you’ve just described Heaven. A much better vresion than the one involving harps and clouds, anyway.
