9 months.
In 9 months you can have a child.
In 9 months you can die of cancer.
In 9 months you can complete a baseball season.
In 9 months you can graduate college.
In 9 months you can lose 50 lbs.
In 9 months you can switch careers.
In 9 months you can find religion.
In 9 months you can travel to every continent.
In 9 months you can realize all you've left behind.
In 9 simple months, you can realize how much you love her, and how much you have left to love.
The past 9 months have seen me change in so many ways, but in a lot of ways, the ways that matter, I've remained the same. The next 20 years are all I have left. They call it a quarter life crisis. I think they're stupid. And for those of us who wont live through their mid life crisis, a quarter life crisis is a mid life crisis. Fuck, all of life is a crisis. But sometimes you can slow things down, just enough to remember her smile. And that can keep you going for miles.
Love,
Michael
