the baby shower

to build a home

my sweet anar, 

when you were still in the safe confines of your mama's belly; we built your crib in the dark. your papa insisted and your mama and me simply stood there, shivering and giggling like children out after bedtime. your mama grabbed my hand and there i felt you, not only kick my palm but dance with such agility that i staggered back and shrieked like a frightened animal. we grow impatient, my dear anar, and i think you are just the same. our love for you overwhelms every minute of every day like heavy rain upon thirsty soil and only when you are with us finally we will breathe the calm and patience we once had.

"i'm feelin' electric tonight

cruising down the coast goin' 'bout 99

got my bad baby by my heavenly side

i know if I go, i'll die happy tonight" 

~ summertime sadness, lana del rey

a wonderful thing

drive

we crashed, but we didn't burn.

my sister and her love whispering under the moonlight

i wish you weren't here

it would be childish to deny that i don't have days i'd rather forget.

the sun shall shine out the brighter tomorrow.
