We only have right now. (An illustrated story for you.)


I almost passed her off to her mom, almost made it quick and got back to the client emails piling up.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But instead we moved to the sofa and I held her as she cried about how much she missed playing with her friends.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Because we only have right now. We only have these moments. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And in six years she will still remember me being there for her, and I’ve already forgotten what those work messages were about.⁠⠀
