thirty summers.

i really hoped that as this summer came to a close, i would find myself thinking, "man, that was so much fun, but i am ready to get back to work. ready for the routine. ready for adult interaction. ready to do my thang." that is not even close to what i am thinking. instead, i realized that in staying home this summer with dash, 
i was right. 
the only thing i think is, "this is what i was born to do." shoot.

i have lived through 30 summers. some good. some great. some uneventful. some filled with work. some filled with nothing. some including travel. some filled with love. some welcoming life. some saying goodbye. some changing me forever. some thin. some at 200lbs. some just. plain. hottt.

all special. all significant. but none. not one, has meant what this one has to me. this one i will never get back. literally. it will never be just me and dash again. we will never have this chance to just live day in and day out doing what we want, when we want, two peas, loving and learning together. i knew this summer would be different, but really, i had no idea what it would mean to me. 



 thank you dash michael for all of the memories. thank you for loving me the way you do. thank you for letting me be what i have always wanted to be to you. thank you for saying in your sweet little voice, "i love you momma" when i least expect it. thank you for making all of my bad days better. thank you for being the best company i have ever been in. thank you for making me want to be the very best version of me. and thank you dashy d, most of all...
for my favorite summer ever.
