Mother's Day 2014

Lunch at Mozza, then someone refused to take a photo w a normal face. Of course in the one photo where Lindsay looks normal, I made a weird face.

Poppy reserve

We went to the poppy reserve on May 4, 2014. It was very windy. We walked around for about two hours.

Back Pack

Backpack

Snapshot Image – don’t forget

Almost late for school

Morning madness rush

Watching you run from the car

Breathless goodbye

To the stairs – almost there –

Then, brace yourself for the heavy load - hoist the backpack up those steps

Such a childhood burden

I hate seeing that bag weigh you down

Adulthood waits – with all its cares and burdens

Stay free from the load as long as you can.

Retain your innocence, your freedom, the idea that the world is yours for the taking.

I hated seeing you as an adult in training, pulling your load behind you, dragging it up the stairs, inevitable burden.
