1. a borrowed air conditioner
2. a cat on each side, staving off loneliness
3. a husband who loves my family as much as I do
4. a branch hanging low over the steps, showering me with delicate pink petals
everyday

I can hear Adam's voice, filled with wonder and love as he stares at Eve - This is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh - and I can hear my husband's voice in my ear as he holds me tight, dread of separation gripping him - Should it be this hard?

Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh
Yes my love, yes it should be this hard.
