TruMama

Lilu’s new best friend, Murphy came over for a play date.

On the way home the other day you asked where our house was, so daddy made up a game…

Daddy: Are you a bird that lives in a nest?
Tru: I can’t fly!

Daddy: Are you a hermit crab that lives in a shell?
Tru: My back is too big.

Daddy: Are you a bear that lives in a cave?
Tru: I’m afraid of caves daddy.

Daddy: Are you a duck that lives in a pond?
Tru: I don’t know how to swim.

Daddy: Are you a beaver that lives in a damn?
Tru: A damn? Live in a damn? (I think you were extra confused because damn happens to be your favorite curse word.)

There were a bunch more and for everything daddy or I thought of, you had the most logical answer as to why you couldn’t live there. Your little mind amazes me every day, every time we play

Lilu, I love you
Tickle my feet, make me laugh
My forever friend

I’m not making New Year’s resolutions. They are misleading and destructive. As a reflective person, I prefer to find what’s all good in my life and be sure to keep it that way. To Cheer for all the wonder around me. To hold on to everything I love.
