This picture was taken before I ever went to get the camera... Looking down at her on the back patio, watching as she repotted "my" plant at the end of a very long and leisurely first Father's Day, I saw her as I sometimes do: young, old, every moment we've spent and will spend together overlapping at once, then gently eddying into that brief minute where the happiness and love we share is so clear and deep and present that I'm overcome. I will remember us in this moment forever.
