• 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
