BACKSTORY: I remember this game so vividly. It strikes me how remembering the simplest of life’s moments brings me so much happiness, even to this day so many years later. There was a time I thought the big memories would be the pillars of my life’s stories - big trips, graduations, marriages. Instead it’s getting soaked and running for shelter in a rainstorm, a husband’s kiss on my feverish forehead, playing silly games with my babies. Life is so overwhelmingly beautiful. The more I pay attention to it, the more it fills me. Sometimes I feel like there’s no room in me for unhappiness. Love just washes it away.
