Work on replacing the yard started. I don’t know where this got buried in the dirt & debris but it turned up today. We lost a lot of DVDs in the flood, but it’s fitting this might be the last remnant of everything.
It’s a movie my wife and I saw together early in our relationship and was important to us. We didn’t revisit it very often because it’s not necessarily a happy movie—but perhaps it’s underlying message is symbolic of what we’ve gone through in the last year since the flood, together. It’s important to fix things. Especially with those important people in our lives.
Rebuilding was very stressful on us—and our relationship. But like Steve Zissou we’ve worked through it and are on a new course.
Maybe this DVD will serve as a final reminder of things past, as we move ahead on our next adventure.
I wonder if it remembers us.

Building, redecorating/ remodeling a house is stressful as it is, especially on a relationship. So I can’t imagine how rebuilding a house must be after a flood, with all the added emotions; not only because of losing all kinds of material goods but also because off all kinds of issues with government and such. Besides being exhausted from it all. This situation would bring out the worst in all of us from time to time.
Anyway, I’m happy to hear this chapter of your live is coming to a close and that you two worked it out together. Hopefully, this experience, in the end, brought you closer together, so there is something good to be found in all you two have gone through.
Good luck with the yard!
