Happy Valentine's Day, Part II

See you on the other side of the weekend! We're going on a road-trip up north!

The Long Haul

Sophie has always looked at trees, swaying in the wind, and she's always looked upward at ceilings, into corners and obscurity. Sometimes I look upward, too, and I try to figure it all out. Here we are yesterday at the doctor's office, waiting for Oliver's appointment. Sophie hummed and insisted on gazing up, so I did, too, looking into corners and into obscurity. Oliver asked whether it felt like nearly eighteen years had gone by since Sophie was born, and I told him yes, it feels like eighteen years, powerfully so, actually. He asked me if I was tired, and I said, nah, I'm in it for the long haul.
