some really exciting things happened to me today. right after the swell of pride, i was hit with a aching sadness that you weren't here to share it with me. i played the conversation in my head, the one i would have with you. me, beaming and giving you all the details. you, proud and strong and shining.
it always comes back to you.
i'd always heard that all the success and happiness in the world don't count for much if you have no one to share them with. well, i never had much, but i finally understand the truth in age-old sayings.
so, i'll embark on this adventure.
and not forget. never forgetting.
and maybe, one day, i'll get to sit across from you and watch that slow smile spread across your face as i say aloud the conversation i'd rehearsed in my head so many months before.
....wish you were here.
