I spin with my daughter in the front yard. Stars cut the night. Together we get dizzy. She sinks to her knees and giggles. She orders me: “Faster! Faster!” I turn round and round. Arms out. Head back.
Selling the car gives us another month in the house. Spinning. Spinning.

I like this a lot, like how well you move from light to dark, laughter to anxiety.
Thanks
Jennifer

You made my head spin…..spinning….spinning…..

Perhaps a bigger problem than affording for dad is keeping the misery off her knowledge.
Nothing short of amazing. My eyes got watery and I got goosebumps. Truly powerful.
