Rock Collection with Alexander

 

Alexander, you haven’t seen these in a long time. But I was cleaning and thought about these rocks and felt it was good to write about them now.

This collection started when you were a baby.

It began when you were very little and we went to the beach for the first time in Barcelona. You picked up a rock and gave it to me. And I saved it. Here, in this glass.

As time went on and you were out and about more, you would pick up more rocks when we were at a beach or in a park.

And I kept them. 

Soon, I started doing the same and adding to the collection. 

The day at the park when you lost your first tooth, I saved a rock. 

The times we were reunited after going 9-10 months with no visits and went to a park, I’d save a rock.

I look forward to the next stone we add to this together. And many more after that like when we go back to visit Barcelona together, goto Cape Cod for you to meet your grandparents, visit the beaches in California where Malia  and I lived.
