“I don’t know how the hell you do it,” Annie sighs as she falls onto the couch.

“What do you mean?” I ask, handing her a drink and sitting next to her.

She takes a large swig and sets it on the table, “all of it. The kids, the husband, making it all look effortless. I’m fucking exhausted and I only have one kid. I don’t know how you do it with two.”

“Annie,” I say softly, putting my hand on hers. “I’m fucking exhausted too.”

She looks surprised, “really? You hide it well.”

“I love my kids,” I tell her. “I love my life and I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but being a mom is exhausting. It’s ok to feel overwhelmed, to need some time to yourself.”

“I just,” she sighs. “I just feel like I should be better at this. I’m not one to run away from a challenge, but sometimes.. sometimes I feel so trapped. I love Max and Georgie, but I’m not one to sit still. I feel like my body is vibrating with all this pent up energy but I’m too exhausted to use it.”

“I know how you feel,” I

    Fifty Years Later“Mom!” A voice calls from the direction of the living room. “Dad!”James and I freeze, his wrinkled face inches from mine. The washer thrums under me as James strokes slowly into me. Age has done nothing to slow us down when it comes to our love life. Even after two hip replacements, he’s still as virile as he was when he was younger. “Grams?” Another voice calls, closer this time. “Be right there!” I call, trying to keep my voice steady. “Mom?” JD’s voice says right outside the laundry room door. “You alright in there?” James chuckles as he slowly slides out of me and tucks his cock away, “be right out.”“Dad?” JD asks. There’s a pause before he sighs, “don’t break another hip.” James laughs loudly as I scoot off the washing machine, groaning slightly. At seventy-six, my joints weren’t what they used to be but that rarely stopped me. Making sure that we were decent, I open the door and walk into the kitchen, James following close behind. “Grams!” Lila yells

    Later that night, once the kids were asleep and the sun had long since set, James holds me in bed, his hand resting lightly on my stomach. “Sunya invited us to stay,” I tell him. “Like, permanently stay.” “Malik told me the same thing today,” he says softly. I wish I could say that I was surprised, but Malik is Sunya’s husband and she probably told him to bring it up. “So? Are we?” I ask. “Do you want to?” He counters. “Yeah, I do,” I answer honestly. “The kids love it here and so do I. I miss our parents and the house but this place, these people, feel more like home than our home did.” James nods, “I feel the same way. But..”“But what?”His hand flattens against my stomach, “I’m just worried about you having a baby here. There’s no hospital or doctor anywhere close by in case something happens.”“I’m worried about that too,” I tell him. “But Sunya and several of the other women are midwives. And we have the truck so we can go into town every few months to see a doctor.” I sc

    Over the next few weeks, the kids settled into village life better than I expected. JD and Jason were gone most of the day with the other men, either going on supply runs, fixing fences and even digging new wells. Each night the boys would come back to the house, sun kissed and exhausted but still bubbling to tell us about their day. Cleo and I spent our days with Sunya and Ayla, looking after the baby elephants, cooking and keeping the village running. Cleo and Ayla did their chores together every morning before disappearing, only showing up again when they were hungry. We had originally only planned to spend a few weeks at the sanctuary, but then a few weeks turned into a few months, and before we knew it, we’d been there four months. The kids had shown no desire to leave and neither had James or I. The sanctuary was hard work, but it was the type of hard that made every day worth it. We were doing something that mattered, helping a species that was on the brink of extinction b

    Later that night, after the kids and the village were fast asleep, James and I lay on our bed talking quietly. “Cleo doesn’t want another brother,” I tell him. “She doesn’t?” He asks, slightly surprised. “How do you know?” “Sunya made a joke about giving us a house with two rooms this time and how when we leave I might be pregnant again, and Cleo made it known that she doesn’t want another brother,” I explain. “She might not be opposed to a sister though. Her and Ayla seemed to get along rather well.” The girls had spent the rest of the day together, Cleo following Ayla around the entire village as the older girl told her about the elephants and all the different animals. Cleo had even met Old George and much to my surprise, didn’t hesitate to eat the chicken strips that he turned into. When night had fallen and it was time for bed, Cleo had asked if Ayla could stay over, and now the two were nestled together on her bed, snuggled under the small Dora blanket that Cleo insisted on

    The village hadn’t change, but the people have. Most of the volunteers from last time were gone, same as the baby elephants who I know aren’t babies anymore, but it’s still sad to see new ones take their places. Sunya was a familiar face in the crowd as she marches towards us, a small girl in tow. “Alison!” Sunya exclaims as she approaches. “You have returned to us!” She pulls me into a tight hug and whispers, “I see things have worked out well.” “They have,” I whisper back before pulling away. “Yours has grown up so much!” I give the little girl a smile, “she’s still as pretty as ever.” “As are yours,” Sunya tells me. “Young man, front and center please.” JD rushes to stand in front of her, a toothy grin on his face. “You look like a strong young man.” JD nods and flexes his small arms, “I am! I can carry two things of milk at once!” He tells her proudly. “Well now, that is strong indeed,” Sunya tells him seriously. “We need strong muscles to help us with the baby elephants

    A week later and we are back in Kenya at the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary. Our van bounces along the familiar road, the scenery the same as the last time we were here. The children stare excitedly out the window, calling out all the animals that they see. I’m snuggled into James’s side, his arm around me as I doze. It had been a long flight, made even longer by the two bored kids that had refused to sleep on the flight. How they weren’t passed out right now I’ll never know. I’m almost asleep when the van comes to a sudden stop, letting a herd of elephants walk across the road in front of us. “Look at those!” JD exclaims, moving to get a better look. “Let me see!” Cleo demands, trying to shove her brother out of the way. Our driver smiles at them and points to the largest one at the head of the group, “see that one? How she is watching us? That is the leader. She protects the herd.” He lowers his voice, “she watches us to make sure we aren’t a threat.” “How does she
