{dear 26}

Dear 26,

you’ve come so quickly.
time & age are sneaky things.

what will the pages of my life contain?
what will you bring to me...
this year?

come what may, but a little advise for you:

"take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back." (part of an email from my dad)

bring me days of joy and sunshine.
i will be thankful.

and bring me days of rain.
i will learn how to dance in it.

i'm ready for you 26. happy birthday.

Love, 25

(dear mom, thank you for the flowers you left for me, they brightened my morning. dear dad, thank you for the email and the phone call, it means a lot. dear friends & family, thank you for the warm wishes, sweet words & gifts, they made my day.)
