Fanucci Brothers Quotes & Sayings

I used to wonder if a mother could see the shift when her child became an adult. I wondered if it was clinical, like at the onset of puberty; or emotional, like the first time his heart was broken; or temporal, like the moment he said I do. I used to wonder if maybe it was a critical mass of life experiences - graduation, first job, first baby - that tipped the balance; if it was the sort of thing you noticed immediately when you saw it, like a port-wine stain of sudden gravitas, or if it crept up slowly, like age in a mirror.

I CANNOT tell you now;
When the wind's drive and whirl
Blow me along no longer,
And the wind's a whisper at last
Maybe I'll tell you then
some other time.

Reels to the rack and the twist,

When the face I love is going
And the gate to the end shall clang,
And it's no use to beckon or say, "So long"

I have broken down under the wind
And into the roses looking for you.
I shall never find any
greater than you. — Carl Sandburg
