There are stories about Whitely Road.There are stories about mommy and daddy and Wawa and these yellowish tiles I'll always remember.There are stories about death and moving.There are stories about change and pain and feeling least at-home in my house.

There are stories about Cape Town and new home and learning and growth.There are stories about family spreading thin across the globe.
There are stories about Africa and its beauty and its ugliness.There are stories about England.There are stories about Canada.

There are stories about new friends.There are stories about flying and falling and losing roots and needing them and always searching.There are stories about displacement.There are stories about more loss and pain but also so much growing love and new love and growing strength.There are stories about a journey.There are stories about stories that are always changing.
