To Ramona on her 5th Birthday

Happy Birthday, Beautiful. Love, Mom

“Nothing

would be
easier without
you,
because you
are 
everything,
all of it-
sprinkles, quarks, giant
donuts, eggs sunny-side up-
you
are the ever-expanding
universe
to me.” 
― Kate DiCamillo, Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures
