June 2035

I imagined yesterday
The night before your graduation
As we prepared for the celebration
The memories that we'd share

I remember being terrified

The night you were born

And Grandma said it was time for her to go

Mom, you and me, a family

How do we take care of you?

That night was no worry, as you slept soundly

The journey had worn you out

Sometimes life hits the fast-forward button

The diapers, the crawling, the walking, the running

Soon you had a sister

Baby Omi

Number blocks and Lankybox

You taught yourself math and got curious
