This kid is everything.
When we're heading to her preschool she runs ahead, piggy tails batting her head and backpack rocking up and down. She looks back at me with pure joy in her eyes, just at the thought of the day ahead.
I want to feel that excitement again. So I do. I wake up and for a split second I think, oh god it's another day, how long will this one go for? And then I try again. For her. I can do this because I see in her eyes that I make her day, and I want to give her that too.
A couple of weeks ago I started a little project: taking at least one good photo of her every week. I want to do it for a year, compiling the shots into a little book. This time next year she will be at school, and I feel the need to capture this time in her life. Not for show online, not for anything other than just for us to remember.
She is everything.
Oh darling friend. I know this so well. They ARE everything. Their zest, laughter, spunkiness, inquisitiveness.....it holds me together so much being invested in his world. Sometimes I feel so broken but he's my glue. He helps me get myself out of myself. Much love. I can't wait to give you a hug. x
