I'd like to introduce you to our big red chair. I've been trying to capture it just right and it's just not happening... I'm trying to capture the way this chair warms me on a cold winter's morning when I'd rather be cozied up in bed... how this chair is big enough to snuggle up with one, two, three and sometimes even four children while reading a book ... how this chair is improving reading skills in our home, especially when a big sister is reading to a younger sibling...how this chair is an excellent place to try out new circus skills (preferably headstands)... how this chair is a perfect launching pad with big wide arms, perfect for leaping off, in a cape, into other lands unknown to adults... how this chair never gets too hot to sit in, even on a hot summer's day...dad loves playing guitar in this chair, which often leads to in impromptu "jam" that makes my heart soar with that circle of familial energy, no matter what the ensuing musical combination sounds like...
This chair sits humbly alone, but this chair is togetherness.
