• It Has Been Awhile

   

  And I would like to tell you these things; that we spend our days together talking and exploring and building and writing and dreaming and staying warm by the fire.  I would like to tell you how she lost 4 teeth in 2 weeks and now she wears a gappy grin that could melt the heart of the surliest teamster.

  

  
  

  I would like to tell you how he has been building with Legos and and drawing and making origami and eating a large number of beans and growing so quickly we stand nearly eye to eye and this makes my heart wilt.

  

  

  I would like to tell you about my tattoo and how it means inner strength.

  

  And I would like to tell you how we spend our days flying down hills on our sleds and building snow forts and drinking hot cocoa.

  

  

  

  

  But mostly I want to tell you how much happiness there is. I want to tell you how I am filled with so much clean contentment that I am spilling over the edges with it.

  I am happy.
