Bridge


On the tip of the bay at the top of the morning Alyson and Sheheryar build a bridge of their own. Congratulations you two. What is it that keeps two together for 10, 20, 30 years? I don't know. But some things are clear. Alyson's father, a mechanic in LA, told a story about holding his young daughter's small hand when they went to pick strawberries on a farm together. Alyson wasn't picking any though. When her father asked her why she said because if she wants strawberries she could just go the store to get some. It's Alyson's gentle nature and enormous care to never disrupt that comes out strong in this story. But his slow and careful recount spoke even more vividly an immaculate love of a father who knew the precise way in which his daughter was the whole world.
