Isaac and Ari slept over for the first time in almost two years. I noticed they had brought their own toothbrushes and toothpaste. I have always had both here for them. I realized this had changed for them as they got older. I contemplated keeping the toothbrushes in the bathroom so I could have a cue to remember their overnights when they were younger. Then I chose to throw the toothbrushes out.

Attention to now and the future, not the past.
