That earth shattering silence of winter has returned to us. Too frigid outside to venture forth. Bone chilling winds blow, making our bodies quiver. Finally protected by the warmth of happiness. I no longer fear winters longevity. Together we are kept safe within the hallway of tranquility your daughters laughter brings. Nestled deeply within the quarantine of a self made family. Strangers once through the varying degrees of different worlds. Knowingly creating something from time. My soul layered within yours, within hers, and hers within yours. Three is my most hopeful number.
