A Happy Halloween with Thomas Cook

Happy Halloween with Thomas Cook

I must admit, we never really celebrated Halloween when I was growing up.

Portrait of my Son as a Five Year Old

A portrait of my son at five years old

I want to remember five years ago, to touch your newborn skin – waxy, translucent. I want to remember the vivid plum blood-test bruises on your tiny heels and feel the way your cry bypassed thought, resounded in my chest. I want to be inside that moment when everything changed.
