I am thankful for spending time with my children, and grandchild. Going to MacDonald’s, shopping for Easter eggs. Seeing her smile, as she saw my car drive to collect them.

Beautiful
Written https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2023/03/26/sunday-confessionals-the-sun/ Beautiful, my rays of sunlight, the first time I held you, So tiny, fragile, like you would break.
