Tui

I had a wonderful couple of days with Tui; it was more just-the-two-of-us time than we've had for decades. We painted and sewed and photographed; we drove up into the mountains to walk in O'Reilly's treetops.

We talked about what is in our hearts, our struggles to be better people, and our hopes for the future.

My brave, beautiful firstborn makes me proud.
