Remember when we made a cake for your dad's birthday, & you, Ella, climbed up the chair your brother's left behind & got into one cake while I frosted the other.

Remember that one day I looked out at the wind & rain, & instead found one little monk upside-down, in another. I laughed, & knew it was you, Covey, & you laughed, & said 'that was me!'
