We found each other.8 billion people in the world.2.161 million in Paris, alone. It scares me to think of any other reality existing — one where we miss one another. Maybe it doesn’t rain that day, or maybe instead of staying, I decided to get on a plane, or return to my other job, or […]

The other day, Aimee choked back tears as she confessed to me, “Maman, you and papa spend so much time taking care of Ellias. You don’t take care of me anymore.” My heart split in two to see her in pain: to hear her doubt my love, but I knew that she needed my reassurance […]

I feel his breath begin a steady cadence on my chest: in, out, in, out. Do I dare? I slowly lift my body out of the rocking chair, one muscle at a time. Tiptoeing to the edge of the crib, his body senses this familiar dance. In the darkened room, I see his eyes open […]

Confession: 98.9% of the time, I have no idea what I’m doing. Sometimes people will browse through these pretty photographs or read the curated captions, take a look at our family and think, “Wow, they’ve really got it together.  They have the two kids, the dog, the house, and they’re livin’ it up in sunny, […]

The store was probably only large enough to place a door, and then the remaining space was just books stacked high to the ceiling. The books were haphazardly stacked […]

Reflecting today about how this was the view I woke up to every morning 7 years ago, to date. I took this photograph from my window just before dawn — when the city was still fast asleep, and the sunlight peeked through rippled clouds. I remember hearing the sound of the bell tolls from the […]
