Five Days

The two best days of a boat owner’s life?

The day they buy it.
The day they sell it.

—

I love picking up Remy at the start of our two days together.

And on the last night,
there’s a quiet exhale.

—

Next week it’s five days.

—

I thought I’d be anxious.

I’m not.

—

I can see it now.

How fast this moves.

—

He’s already changing.

Less baby.
More boy.

—

I missed this the first time.

Not because I didn’t care.

Because I was busy.

—

This time,
I’m here for it.

—

There might be more grandkids.

But there won’t be another first.

—

I’m starting to feel that.
