Action on the site at 1:30 a.m. I listen to the headphones for my PhD study participants interview. Yes, a very "productive" time ☺️ Suddenly a little night is poking out of the darkness.

– Oak, where are you walking? – I'm quietly asking.
– I was looking for you, Mommy… – he replies.

I'm going to bed, I'm lying down next to you.

– Sleep peacefully, I give you a kiss and he closes his eyes.

A few minutes later, he opens his eyes and asks:

– When are we going?
– Where?
– When are we going on a date? – worried about asking.
– The day, baby. Sleep peacefully, I'm giving you a kiss again.

The light of the LED candle shows me how he smiles while he sleeps. Again. Then the voice laughs briefly.

I hope he's dreaming of our date 😉 he's not on the ocean shore… I'm thinking to myself lying next to it: there's a virus around, people are fighting for their lives – their own or a stranger, someone is looking for ways to get ahead in the graft queue, someone from longing rubs scratched boundaries of municipalities or countries, and for me, the most important things happen here at 1.30 am, in that sleeping smile. Which I've been waiting so long… ❤️

p.s. And are you traveling with your toddlers (large or small) to date during quarantine?

p.s. We're going on a date tomorrow pirated 😉
