One Day, But Not Yet

One day I will miss posies picked by little hands, and loving placed in empty salt jars.

One day I will receive my last bundle of dandelions or wildflowers given with as much love, if not more, than any gloriously packaged bouquet.

One day I will miss cuddles from my babies where I can breathe in their hair and shut my eyes and feel utter love.

One day will be the last day that my son will climb up on my back while I lay reading, like a gangly limbed koala.

One day I will miss looking down to my kids’ upturned faces.

One day I will not see them rolling their eyes when I ask “who do I love?” fifteen times a day.

One day.

But not yet.

Please, just a little longer.

Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity. I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books. A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids. My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!) I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is. My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit. I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually. Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
