window and I hear the laughter of
happy and relieved graduates and

some happy couple are preparing
for their baby to enter the world,
or maybe a heartbroken woman is
preparing to meet her baby alone,
a toddler is preparing for the first
day of day care and the parents
are anxiously wondering if he or
she will be okay...
