A New Living Being Opens Its Eyes for the First Time

A Raccoon Got Loose in the House and Fell Asleep in the Laundry

Children Were Climbing the Old Tree in the Park

Everyone I’ve Ever Loved Lives Here Together

I Hope I Will Be Remembered as a Good Person

I Was Reading the News but I Felt So Sad I Had to Stop

I Watched Them Jump Into the Creek

Little Frogs Swam by Every Now and Then

My Heart Is Slowing Down and Soon It Will Have to Stop

The Lake Was Covered in Lilypads

The Peach Tree Next Door Grew Over Our Fence

The World Moves Quicker Than I Had Ever Realised and Sometimes It’s Unkind

These Photos of My Children Make Me Want to Climb Into the Frame

Today I Learned What Makes Bugs Sick and How to Tie My Shoelaces

Today I Taught Them How to How to Skip Stones Across the Lake

Two Trains Came Through the Station at Once and It Felt Like a Hurricane

We Could Hear Them Singing From Across the Valley

We Lay Down in a Field of Orange Flowers and We Listened to the Birds

We’re So Young That We’ll Never Grow Old

With Her First Ever Steps She Walked to Me and She Was So Happy
