I will remember this moment. Forever.

It is burned into my heart.

His tiny hands on my shoulder. His slight hesitation. The curiosity.

The pointing of fingers and shrieks of laughter, as he watched and listened to the sound of the water, the calls of the birds.

Taking it all in.

I try to picture us here decades down the road. This exact spot. I can’t. I don’t need to. We still have now.
