I reflect how far we have come on this journey

I walk in a familiar place
memories are no longer heavy
I count my
I am here
I can walk up the narrow path
I can listen to the birds’ song
I can see
a robin is hopping around

Two year on: we learnt adapting to life post 1) live to the full in every calm minute between storms; 2) stay as as possible; 3) go back to activities we did together as a family today. Daniel defeated us all.
