Us kids all home of a Saturday morning, for once.
Lounging around in comfy Saturday morning clothes.
Snow falling outside, rolling the earth in a big bowl of powdered sugar.
And we all listen to Hannah tell about jury duty and staying up till twelve in the morning deliberating.
There's big puffy circles under her eyes, but she's all animated and her eyes are alight as she tells it how it was, and shakes her head at some people.
It all kinda sounds like this if you put the morning to music.
Who was it that said forever is made up of nows? Emily Dickinson?
Yeah. This is forever right here.

The Memory Keeper
K.M. Updike writes young adult and historical fiction and has a frustrating fascination with fantasies that gets in the way a lot. She is the author of the young adult historical fiction novelette, The Life and Death of Terry Dodd. A lover of books and prairies, she lives with her five siblings and inspiring parents in the wilds of the Great Plains. Besides reading books and writing stories, she loves watching old movies and drinking tea in her basement room dubbed "Mole End."
