“Mom, do we have a plan to survive a nuclear fallout?”
“That’s not going to happen Leo.”
“How do you know?’
“Because… well, I guess I don’t know for sure but it’s really, really unlikely. And it’s not something you should spend time worrying about. We will all be fine.”
“There is a meteor that is going to hit the Earth in 2024.”
–Leo, age 10
Last April we took an awesome trip to go scuba diving in Hawaii. So much has happened in the year since that trip. The pendulum of life swung me from side to side, stopping only briefly in the middle to let me catch my breath before starting to swing once more. But if I close my eyes and take slow deep breaths I am sitting warm on the beach with the wind in my hair and crash of waves in my ears, keeping time with my slow steady pulse.
this was our favorite beach on Maui
these were our beach drinks
and this was the turtle who came to say hi
