“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”

― Fred Rogers

an overflowing bug jar (no bugs were hurt in this quest)
the way he laughs with his whole body
hugs that almost knock me off my feet
an hour in the Marine Center looking in all the tanks
and a big thank you to the woman who answered all his questions
going to the park after where we had snacks, and I watched as he hunted for feathers
coming home and feeling loved to the moon and back
wanting to hold on to every moment that I can with this sweet boy
