an email from my mother

I got this email from my mother today:

I’m sitting here looking at the strawberry patch pictures, specifically the one with Blue in the foreground covered in strawberry juice and you are in the background with Lion. You looked like you were having such a good time. And I thought, how much your life has changed in four years…those two beautiful kids who haven’t been here that long, does it ever hit you????


Yeah, Mom, it does. Every single beautiful minute.
