Gratitude
Updated: 2 days ago
For a life that allows me to slow down.
To wander far.To return to my roots.
To share with my child the land that lives in my blood.
The stories. The family. The landscapes that shaped me.
The places that have held pieces of my story long before she came along.
There's something deeply moving about returning
to a place that helped make you who you are
and seeing it through the eyes of your child.
Places that are familiar to you, yet new to her.
Stories you've heard a hundred times,
becoming part of her own understanding of where she comes from.
In sharing these places with her, I get to see them a little differently, too.
A chance to remember.
To reconnect.
To pass something on that can't quite be captured in words.
A gift to witness her meet a piece of her own story.
And to be here for it.
