Summer Snapshot
Despite the weather, summer is almost officially over with school starting this coming Monday. And of course, back to work for the adults. But I want to remember all of the summer moments – the slipper towel (as Tin called the towel I put so he wouldn’t slip when he washed off the sand on the terrace), the performances including fab introductions in Spanish and English by him and his two new gal friends who live downstairs (his performance was to dance to Angelique Kidjo singing Voodoo Child), kicking water at each other on the beach, his first boogie board experience (courtesy of Felipe), his dinosaur rock videos watched with Ana, the beautiful vista of bougainvillea and mountain and sea from Ana’s terrace, the beach, Morocco in the distance, fat rice noodles from the Cadiz Asian market cooked with local greens and seafood, books-books-books, Tin’s outfits (good Lord!) and most of all summer friends.
If there was world enough and time this summer snapshot would come readily to mind during any moment of doubt or fear.

You two have met in many past lives, this I’m sure of. Your connection is tangible. It goes beyond a mother & son bond.
Tin’s eyes — you know what I mean, right?

Mudd – I welped up reading your comment – it’s the eyes, I’ve told you before? The moment I saw my son’s eyes I knew why I had waited 50 years to have a child – because I was born to be his mother in this lifetime. The window to the soul. Love you, R
