It's time for my kids to get ready for bed for the last time. 11yrs ago today DW will call at 7pm bc my dad forgot to bring their goodnight stories books. I see them over FT, all snuggled in with my parents in their PJs as I read. We blow each other kisses We do our goodnight routine DW says "Good night" in perfect German Harry and Milly try too but can't get the sounds out properly so we all start laughing More kisses More good nights "Mahal kita nanay!" (Kisses I catch and put in my pocket) "Mahal kita mga anak ko!" (I blow them each kisses, including one to Milly's duck because well, #ToddlerRequests ) They will all be dead in less than 24 hours. If only time could stand still. If only. I disconnect the FT call, for the last time. The last time. Tick. Tock.

11 yrs ago today I woke up with my children for the last time. They ate their last breakfast with their daddy. Ed went to work. We went on a road trip out to St Jacob's in our brand new van. We tried lavender ice cream. The kids found a chair they all liked, came in enough sizes for each of them plus they knew their daddy would love the pattern. I had my last meal with my kids. They set up the kefir, picked veggies from our garden. They left for an overnight visit with my parents. I waved goodbye from my driveway.
