- dad cradling me in his arms as he swayed to harvest moonlight by nick drake
- dad lifting me into the laundry basket and my relentless pleas of "one more time!"
- hiding under the covers from the tickle monster
- countless nights of being snug under the covers, listening with boundless, raptured delight as dad read bedtime stories that were so familiar, they were almost ingrained in my memory
- bashfully hiding my face in the pillows on the settee as my dad and grandparents sang happy birthday at my early birthday parties
- asleep by the smiths being my lullaby to sleep
- catching snowflakes in the garden with lachlann
- the beautiful cakes nan decorated for my birthdays
- painting dad's face various colours at my seventh birthday
- outings with dad & lachlann to the daisy fields and them making me daisy chain crowns
- watching the fish in the fish tank swim backwards and foward and attempting to imitate them whilst dad started to write his book that isn't finished yet
- dancing merrily with dad, lachlann, alana, dave and julie at my first guilfest at four years old
- dad pushing me on the swings
- gigs with the martins, dad and lachlann from when i was very very little
- being sung to by dad as i ricochetted from different moods: frightened, incredibly sad, and really happy in a matter of minutes since i was a little girl
