three acts

act one: park picnic


A peanut butter and jelly picnic in the park. Bare toes wiggling in the warm breeze. Sunscreen flavored kisses. Chasing the shade of a tree trunk. Pigtails and a floppy hat. Wisps of hair wet with sweat.

act two: verbal affection log

Today I counted. 17 unsolicited "I love you, Mommy"s.

act three: thank you, my dear

It's hard work, but I am grateful to have it. Thank you for providing for us and recognizing how important it is that I am with them. Thank you for the sacrifices you have made so that this is possible. It has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated.
