I am never more at peace than when I watch you sleep.

Never more at home.

I wish I knew what you were dreaming.

Perhaps one day you will remember.

Maybe soon we will remember everything we have ever thought or felt.

I hope so.

I hope our memories do not end.

I hope nothing of substance ends.

Dear God in heaven, please, please do not let death sever this relationship.

I could not bear that knowing this child has an end to it.

But just for now, please make time slow down.

I love you.

–Dad
