...approaching 30. my mom's arrival...
you (both) are here. flesh of my flesh.
i am here.
we are here.
together.
bears, believes, hopes, endures.
love.
this miracle, here--
testimony in your bearing
in my believing and hoping
in our enduring almost always the things that were too much
and yet surviving again and again
and there's more
to come; it's here already.
i'm stunned in love. here. today. now.
