One Love

Those of you who know us know that we wouldn’t be us if we weren’t a couple of months behind. And a couple of months ago, Charlie turned one.

So I started putting this slideshow together. I dug up all our old pictures and videos. I re-read some cards and letters. I re-lived the roller coaster rides that were his very first days. I laughed a lot. I cried a little. A whole year! A whole year that he has been ours! I thought about how I could possibly explain what that feels like.

So I finished putting the slideshow together. And I watched it about a hundred times. Charlie watched it with me. We laughed a lot. We cried a little. We could not get enough of him. And I thought: This. This is what it feels like.
