Pictures on a wall…

I pass these images on my wall at least 10 times a day. I miss my parents dearly. You would think that with our lives almost standing still right now that we would slow down more or enough to take in simple yet moving moments. Really breathe it in. Breathe and take in the magical sounds of my boys laughing with so much joy and distinction; breathe in literally the smell of a home cooked meal from Shawn and breathe as I write with the feel of the pen in my hand as the words somehow formulate sentences on paper.

I will pass more deliberately and more gratefully as these are more than pictures on a wall. They represent the story of my history, how I came to be and the two people that shaped me the most. They are the foundation of my storytelling.

I will see you both in my dreams, manifested in my stories and yes, as pictures on my wall.
