Cater  -   Why do you think I'm doing this?

        After Rachel left for college, there was a hole. I mean,
     y ou know, no more homework, *no more Little League...recitals, school plays... kids crying, fights, skinned knees.
And for the first time in 40 years, I looked at Virginia
... without all of the noise, without all of the distractions...
and I couldn't remember what it felt like...
...when I could not walk down the street without holding her hand.
 I mean, she was the same woman I fell in love with,
she hadn't changed. But somehow everything was different.
We'd lost something along the way. You know?
