2016 Stories – 24 – David’s Graduation

And here it is.

The end of elementary school. Talk about time passing fast. I feel like we just moved to the West Coast when it’s really been 13 years. I feel like David was just born when he’s now 11.5. I can’t believe he is going to be going to middle school in a matter of months. I can’t believe how wise, kind and articulate he is. I am just so in awe of him.

Dear David. thank you. Thank you for who you are. Thank you for loving to read as much as I do. Thank you for choosing to fill my house with music. Thank you for being brave and performing in front of the whole school. Thank you for pushing your boundaries and doing the Tech Challenge when I could never do it. Thank you for making all of us love Physics. Thank you for putting up with my teaching you Math for hours and hours. Thank you for learning Spanish with me. Thank you for loving History. Thank you for always being curious. Thank you for being willing to show up and swim and play basketball even when you don’t want to. Thank you for always loving and always indulging my wishes. Thank you for being kind, thoughtful, considerate and loving.

I love you so incredibly much. I feel like you’re a gift to me every single day and I am not sure what I did to deserve you but I want you to know that I will not take it for granted for a moment. I will cherish each and every day with you.

Here’s to going on more adventures in Middle School!!
