Acts of intimacy.

Socks, no shoes on.

Onomatopoeia.

Deep breaths.

Cups of tea.

Chopping vegetables.

Concentration.

Unexpected conversation. 

A shared photo. 

Hearing their story. The real story.

Unafraid to cry. 

Seeing them cry.

A tentatively comforting touch.

Your first and last hug. 

An invitation. 

Reminders.

The remnants of breadcrumbs.
