Sadness

Most readers will know this anyway, but for the sake of completeness, my twin daughters were born very prematurely on 28th July, and died within an hour.  We named them Wolf and Fox.

Late Fragment

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

(Raymond Carver)
