1. Before we met

We are so excited.  We just want to love you so much that it keeps you warm when you are cold.  We want to love you so much that it fills your pores and keeps the heat inside.

We want the memory of our love to power you and make you sure of yourself.

When people ask who you are we want you to say it with confidence and pride.  Looking into another person's eyes, unafraid.   Centered and ready.  Who are you, they'll ask...

I'm Soleia Kwynn Devonish. 

You are Soleia Kwynn Devonish.  The sun shines for you.  Never forget this, my darling.  My love.  Never forget that you have in you a strength that others hope for, dream of, envy and often lack.  Because you are so strong, you can always afford to be kind, even when other people don't deserve kindness.  Even when they don't deserve it, you'll still have it to give.

Share that strength with your world.  Shine your light and show others the way.

I hope that I am a worthy teacher to you.  I hope you enjoy these stories of times before you could remember.

I love you, sunshine.  You are as you will always be - my hero. 

Your father,
Kamil

13. Summer's end

Soleia 1.85 The sun rose at 645 today.   You hadn’t slept long enough.   You had been set to bed late the night before.   We went to have breakfast and give Mama the morning to herself before she had to depart. You dipped behind the clouds on the way home, dimming the daylight.   Like I said, you hadn’t slept enough and this time you would hide your light all the way to noon. The ride to Nana and Grandpa’s was uneventful.   You ate Multi-grain Cheerios the whole way, making eyes at passengers and at your father for the entire journey. You were dimming again as Grandpa picked us up from the RT station at McCowan.   It wouldn’t be long before you’d need another nap and I readied myself to the task of finding a relatively quiet room in the house were you might go under. But once we settled into Nana and Grandpa’s bed in the darkened room, I could here the weezing and gasping that you made from beneath your pacifier on the bed beside me. ...

9. Tears for the Sun

Soleia 0.106 I hope that you never think me heartless.  I can see how your mother is with you and I know what I must be to you.  She will be soft so I must be hard.  I must be hard so that you can be both. In your life, you will meet people and mostly be able to safely and quickly dismiss them as one or the other.  Wishy-washy people who go back on their word, dream without taking action, and consider an insult equivalent to a violation.  Boring, anal, impatient people set in their ways, conflating rudeness for confidence, volume for persuasion and proud of their pig-headedness, their stubborness, their ignorance. Learn from these people, Kwynn.  Learn from their faults.  Learn what not to do and how not to be yourself. Even in moments of solidity, liquids can form.  I like to think of myself as ice: cold and rational with respect to what must be done for you.  I've been ice since you were born - winter ice, the ice that doesn't melt ...

2. The Fusion Fire

Soleia 0.2 How is a star born ? " A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion. All stars are the result of a balance of forces: the force of gravity compresses atoms in interstellar gas until the fusion reactions begin. And once the fusion reactions begin, they exert an outward pressure. As long as the inward force of gravity and the outward force generated by the fusion reactions are equal, the star remains stable." Light elements - a seed from your mother and a seed from me.  2 nuclei.  Fusion - the fire that comes from two things being pressed so close together that they become one...Outward pressure - one cell turns to two, two turn to four.  A few months later, you've certain expanded.  Suddenly you're pressing against your mother's bladder.  She has to pee every 5 minutes. There was a time before you existed.  I barely remember it too. You'll go on Youtube and watch the vi...
