The Trampoline

Tonight, I sit here writing as my children's heads bob up and down outside my bedroom window on their new trampoline--their faces afire with smiles and delight, their laughs audible throughout the house.

Material possessions really are for shit. They can distract and disconnect us but I am taking immense pride in giving this gift to my kids.

Growing up, I never had a trampoline. I also never had a mother like me.

Tonight, I'm two for two.
