Chewed up.
Spat out.
A whirlwind few days.
You know that feeling that coincides with the buildup to Christmas Day?
Then it’s here and over in a flash.
It’s sorta like that.
The dust is settling.
In the quiet spaces in between, new realities sink in.
And life…it goes.

The note, I left her:
This day was always a million years away.
And then, all of a sudden, it wasn’t.
Here you are.
The Original.
High school graduate.
Off to the beach.
Off to college.
Off to amazing adventures that will shape your world and fill it however you see fit.
It’s your time kiddo.
Lean in wherever you find yourself.
Listen to that thing thumping inside your chest.
It knows.
We’ve been so fortunate to have a front row seat for this leg of your journey.
We will always be here…
…cheering you on
…loving you.
Proud.
