We all need to sit on a step outside our mum’s house in the middle of nowhere and watch the sunset sometimes. 

And we definitely all need to sit on a beach and watch our child laugh and screech with joy whilst playing with a simple scarf with her mamie.

And finally watch your brother carry your daughter on his shoulders for the first time across a field and see the smile on both their faces (until he told me he was going to faint because she’s heavy?!)

I am grateful for these moments. I love France and I love my crazy family.
