Though I could never do such poetic justice as you have composed here, I'm kinda inspired to try something similar, purely as a 'trip down the proverbial memory lane'... and as a record for my own kids who are about to embark on their own 'post-familial' domestic experiences in the coming years. For them it may be so different, and yet so the same, I suspect. Thanks for the provocation to go back through all the memories - it has prompted a lot of gratitude, joy and a little bit of sadness, too. All the feels... 'Such is life'.
Yes, I'm surprised by how much the simple exercise dredged up for me. And please - 'poetic justice' - I would love to read yours if you're ever willing to share it.
Magic. Every bit of it.
Thanks love :-)
