We're nearly a year into parenthood.
Time flies!
Things change so fast.

Our son inspires me to :
◦ Sing more songs
◦ Reduce my screen time
◦ Hang out on the floor
He notices small, strange details.
And reveals new perspectives.
He teaches me to zoom in and zoom out.
Birth made me see life differently.
I see death differently now, too.
Last year, we brought our son to a funeral.
It was a stark reminder.
Birth and death are connected.
All things are transient.
