Some days are crap.
And neither of us want to hang out in the parking lot while little bro runs with his team.
She asks if she can drive to the beach.
I never say yes to unnecessary driving.
But this time I do.
And she’s surprised.
So she puts on Gemini.
She takes the wheel.
And we head West.
And we talk about our crap days.
And she shares some good parts too.
I shed a few tears.
She tells me about Jen.
And gratitude.
And we park, and walk to the edge of the water.
And we both say what we’re grateful for.
Then we turn around and drive back to get bro from practice.
Gemini is still playing.
We sing along.
And we laugh.
I will remember this day.
Xoxo,
mom
