Yesterday.
Waking up 10.
Today.
Him: ‘I don’t want my birthday to be over’
Me: ‘I’ll never stop celebrating you’.
Him smiling.
Me smiling.
Carrying that feeling.
On repeat...
Everything gets better with foxes...
It rained that day.
And as he drove across Lake Avenue he smiled.
The words 'Welcome to the Lake' came to mind.
And thoughts of foxes driving boats.
And a feeling of good things to come.
'Everything gets better with foxes'
...he had told his friend earlier that morning.
The headlights trailing him glowed in agreement.
Opening Day...
Opening Day.
The excuse to be off (from work and school).
Him next to me.
The two of us.
Soaking it all in.
Together.
The details?
While they matter on some level…
…they end up blurring together.
We’ll lose them over time.
At least I will :)
…but the experience?
We’ll carry that feeling forever.
And that pounding in my heart agrees.
Fuel for the long haul.

Fueling up...
Outside.
Looking in.
Fueling up.
In more ways than one.
