Life can change in 10 seconds, 10 minutes. And for certain, 10 months.
Between the past October, 2019 and today, a newborn’s personality will have shown in a twinkle of their eye, a smile, or a giggle. 3 seasons have passed. 300 days, give or take. A blue whale gestated a calf, who now swims the seas.
For me, many of these past months felt heavy, endless.
Recently, the fog has lifted. Life is bright and meaningful again.
I am blessed to have someone. Like me, 10 months have held weight for him and stretched our beings in good and at times, melancholy ways.
Yes, we will remember.
Even when seasons, days, and holidays pass.
No one has our journey.
And we will celebrate. Because life can change in 10 seconds, 10 minutes, and certainly, in 10 months
