Ten.One Thousand, Nine Hundred & Seventeen

1. Tired.

2. The return of the light.

3. Coffee cake is not done. It’s never done in time. I dump Raisin Bran and milk into a bowl and tell him he needs to eat it in the car.

4. Still a little bit behind.

5. The three of us head out into the vineyard to find the sheep. We walk and walk and walk. Are we sure we know where we are going?

6. I take them to what I think is the right path, but I am wrong. We climb up through some more grass and find the path. Kind of way off.

7. I tell them we should do this more often - just wander in the sunshine, take pictures, and explore. There is so much beauty.

8. Boundaries.

9. I start to feel a few tears fall.

10. I tell her that we did the right things. We achieved the goals. We did it. We’re making this a place people want to belong.
