22nd February 2019
Dear Cooper and Finn,
It's the first day this year we haven't needed our coats, which always makes me feel good. It makes the day so much easier to move through. Makes my bones feel lighter and my arms swing easier. Also this first-day-without-a-coat is earlier than I ever remember it being. And as I'm writing this i'm thinking about you reading it 50 years from now after a climate disaster, completely aghast that I ever thought it was ok to laugh about not needing a coat in February.
We went to the park so we could meet your dad on his way home from work, which is the highlight of my day at the moment. Your dad snuck up behind behind you while you were on the swings like he always does, and I love to watch your little faces as you try to work out how he got here. You're always so delighted. X X X
