What was on the wall that day.
Watching the kids decide what to wear.
Someone left flowers on the dashboard of my car. I never figured out who.
New mittens.
My doctor sent me a handwritten note after my dad's funeral.
The smell of garlic in olive oil before I add the onions.
My great-aunt was a nurse for fifty years. She told me stories of kindness from her patients. Not the other way around.
My dad and I built a treehouse when I was eight. I tore it down with my own son this summer.
My favorite cereal is back on the shelf.
Smelling rosemary as I brush past the plant.
Wood smoke from a neighbor's chimney.
Someone returned the dog who'd run off. They washed him first. They wouldn't take money.
Crisp apples in October.
