the first and last embraces
the sharing of precious friends
the being always honest
the sharing of coats and warm coat pocket space
the bed time stories without the words
the colder air space on our backs
the thank yous each moment
the growth spurts
the mord you, than I
the recalling of important pieces
the teaching of different arts
the comfort of the hands
the luster in the eyes looking right back up
and
the whispers in English
all of them
