and then it just hits you

we went back to the hardly strictly bluegrass festival with evie on saturday. i really wanted to get there in time to see three girls and their buddy (patty griffin, emmylou harris, shawn colvin and buddy miller). evie fell asleep in the backpack on the way over. it was a beautiful, sunny day when we got to the park. the place was packed, but we found a nice place to stand off to the side. nice view, good sound. made it there about halfway through the set.

emmylou's singing. very nice.

more songs. those are three beautiful women's voices and some great guitar.

feeling very good about living in san francisco.

last song of the set. patty griffin singing "mary" - the way she always closes her shows.

beautiful song.

evie nuzzled into my back while she sleeps.

look off to my side and i see a woman with her pre-teen daughter. arms wrapped around each other swaying to the music.

i see my future.

and then it just hits me. wham. i'm completely overwhelmed by the love that i feel for evie. next thing i know i'm weeping.

weird.

enjoy the video, picture me wiping tears away.
