calm sea, clear line of horizon. water below, sky above. all blue.

kangaroo are back at being a couple, mommie has returned and: got milk!

not a single alert from benjamin today! three hours on the kangaroo. absolute silence, first time! atta boy, miss cruise will be proud of you!

mommie has made almost identical experiences with victoria. the oxygen flow has to stay up, but if she continues like this, she will be a proper little ma'am, very soon! go girl!

collin fights on and very successfully so. at the moment "only" cheered by caresses inside the incubator - kangarooing is still on pause, for a few more days, hopefully! - but his belly is starting to wake up. and his eyes laugh and say: "be right there!"

and at the shore, in the sand, there are clearly five sets of footprints, in the fishback-powers sense. nobody is being carried, everyone walking on their own. no trials, no suffering.
