7 months along, Manhattan, 2013
Be alive, today, a little more than normal.
Be aware, if you might, of the people who make your heartbeats rise towards thunder.
And when the time comes, if it does, watch your heart as it splinters off into a toddling little satellite version, a little Heart 2.0.
Happy Valentine's Day to all hearts that beat.
But especially, in 2013, I wish a happy, sweetness-filled day to all the mamas-to-be.
