Red Dirt Diary 2 (2012)
“They thanked us for all we had done, wished us a happy Easter and promised to keep in touch.
Miss McKenzie said she will be back. She just needs a break to sort herself out.
She probably needs a break for all Gunther’s tooth marks to heal.
I don’t want to sound like Matilda Jane the Love Mechanic, but she probably needs a break for her heart to heal too.
Love is a complicated and ugly thing. Sometimes it is shallow and fading, like Matilda Jane’s love for Gavin, and Banjo’s love for me. Sometim...es it is bossy and cold and not really there at all, like James’s love for Miss McKenzie. People call this love, but I think they have given it the wrong name.
But now I’m beginning to understand that love can also be a complicated and beautiful thing.
When Mum loves Dad even though he wears his muddy boots in the house, and Dad loves Mum even though he hates her taste in music, that is love.
When Gunther adores his ducklings and his bunnies as though they are perfect little piglets, that is love.MoreLess
