Almost a decade in the making.

To my child:

I was invited to share a photo that relaxes me.

I could’ve posted a photo of a babbling brook or a scorching sunset. A glass of red wine, a cup of steaming coffee, or a warm chocolate chip cookie. It would have been true to the theme if I’d posted a photo of a hot bubble bath or a hammock on the beach.

But instead I chose this photo I made of you tonight.

In it, you’re reading. Quietly. Independently. By choice. For pleasure.

You’re growing up, kiddo.

Let’s be bookworms together.

Love,

Mom.
