a mother's day album

So here's where my heart is

on this 

Mother's Day

***

Let me

illustrate with

some photos

from

the past

May 1960

Wheat Ridge, Colorado

Our family

with Mom

at the center

(I'm just 2 weeks old here)

Mom was 8 months pregnant

with me

+

three small children

in tow

when they moved in

this brand-new house

just a few weeks

before

June 1989

Toronto

My parents

came to visit

when Kelly (our first)

was born

 Grandma and Kelly

Grandma, me, and Grandpa

with Kelly

Not quite

two years later...

Grandpa and Grandma

came to Toronto to meet

our little 'Enna'

with Kelly (22 mo) and Erin (3 mo)

Making the decision

to have a child

is momentous.

It is to decide

forever

to have your heart

go walking around

outside

your body.

Happy Mother's Day

Mom!

to Kelly:

Welcome

to the

Club!
