In Denial

I did not wake up to a yard covered in white.  I did not have to scrape ice off the car wind shield and leave it running for five minutes to warm up before heading out to gym class with Grace.  I did not have to dress my daughter like this.

I did not have to push the stroller across the parking lot at the Rec. Centre with all my strength against the wind.  I did not have to drive home in white-outs caused by snow squalls.  No, I did not.  I didn't do any of those things because if  I don't admit to it, then maybe it won't be true.
