1. Feel it all.

2. I think about their baby faces and the bits of life that matter the most.

3. I turn off the audiobook and just listen to the sounds around me. No birds yet, but I hear the sound of the electric leaf blowers cleaning up the patio and tennis courts.

4. Lift heavy.

5. This hug.

6. “Hi,” he says. “Our last one!” we say.

7. He sends a picture of the turkey walking around on the back deck. How? Why?

8. I kept thinking the meeting was at 12.

9. Here I go, ruining another idea again.

10. We gotta eat the rest of this cobbler.
