I want my kids to see how much their father and I love each other.

I want them to see us share random kisses in the kitchen. I want them to see how excited I am when he walks through the door. I want them to see us always holding hands in public. I want them to see us slow dancing in the kitchen in our pajamas late at night. I want them to know that no matter what, they will always have the stability of mom and dad loving each other. Even though in their young brains they'll think it's gross how affectionate we are, I hope they'll carry on those memories and use us as an example of madly loving your spouse no matter what.

hey do you wanna go to the park and sit on the swings and look at the moon together

there is poetry everywhere if you look close enough:

• at the bottom of my coffee cup, where the last sip is too bitter to drink.

• in the loose petals floating in the flower vase, beautiful but long gone.

• in the commotion of the traffic at midnight, this city never sleeps.

• within the eyes of strangers, either brimming with love, longing, or loss.

• inside the walls of this home, which has seen decades of families come in and out of the door.

• behind the mantlepiece, where dust has settled from fighting the winter frost.

• and in your name, which has found a motherland at the tip of my tongue.
