Memorial Day

Give your pet a hug today. They, like all loved ones, won’t be around forever.

Remember

There is no such thing as quantity in love
my mother said, correcting me.

No such thing as “much” love.
You can’t count it.

No such thing as “all my love.”
You can’t contain it.

Love expands.
There’s an endless supply.

I love you, she said.
That’s sufficient.

Remember
