Notes from Deb

Joy, Unleashed

Zoë taught me I should find a way to summon and express, at least once a day, the sheer delight of being with my kids.

Different people, making life sweeter for each other.

She supplied the vision, I tackled the keyboard, and we were perfectly in tune.

Music gives us the vocabulary of suspense, mischief, mystery, and delight.

A month is forever when you're six.

Before the annoyance has even finished happening, Todd is already living in the story he'll tell about it.

Here we are again, still together, still enjoying this.

There is no neat timetable for when and how any particular child will blossom.

I can still see those pages emerging from my printer, one after another.
