The end of another year of dance

May 22, 2022 LydiaLeave a comment

Adelina had her dance recital this weekend, and it was intense — she was at the studio three hours every evening (they got Friday off thankfully!) and then spent essentially all day Saturday at the venue. But it was worth it: Adelina worked so hard — and pushed through some major “I don’t want to”s…… Continue reading The end of another year of dance

Some words for my uncle

December 5, 2021December 6, 2021 LydiaLeave a comment

Je n’ai pas eu d’obsèques ou d’adieux, donc il faudra que ces quelques mots suffisent.

She had her first eye exam in the nick of time, before the world shut down, and then of course shipping and production slowed to a crawl. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Adelina was so happy when I told her we were going to pick up her glasses — handed…… Continue reading Seeing My Daughter with New Eyes
