My son is home from college
just in time for Mother’s Day.
Only for a week,
but still his sounds comfort me.
Piles of dirty laundry
spill from the utility room.
The washer and dryer work overtime
spinning and churning
as he takes command of my space.
Downstairs I hear the rattle
of plates and silverware
as he prepares a snack,
reloading, re-energizing
after another semester,
another week of finals.
He eats every three hours,
just as he did when he was a baby,
when I was the center of his life,
when the world was new and not so large.
This is his birthday week.
Twenty years old…
The world is vast
and his for the taking.
Happy Birthday Tate!

When my time on earth is done, I would like to re-wind to one ordinary summer day at the lake when my children were young. Not to change a single moment, but to re-live and remember each second, to make sure I take every detail with me.
When my time on earth is done, all I hope for is that my kids are happy and healthy and have learned to appreciate how incredibly intoxicating ordinary can be.
“Do small things with great love.”
