Tomorrow
I remember that day; you were wide-eyed with wonder and excited about each new experience. You were unapologetically true to yourself and were not about to compromise about the face painting style you wanted. Even at seven, you weren't afraid to be yourself, and I've always admired that about you. I was proud of you then and I am so proud of the man you have grown into.

Five Days
Five days until this guy graduates from high school.
It's hard to believe it's been 18 years since you came into our lives; early, but healthy.
18 years since my Grandma Mary told my mom there was an emergency and that she needed to fly home from Malta that same day. (For the record, I was on "limited mobility" and not allowed to be more than ten minutes away from the hospital, but the emergency return to the States was really for my grandmother's benefit.)
18 years since the overwhelming joy at your arrival after years of trying and a miscarriage.
It's hard to believe there are only five days left until you are a high school graduate...
