Harper started 2nd grade today. She insisted on have all things purple. Purple backpack, purple lunchbox, purple water bottle, purple shirt, purple shoes… her curly hair was as wild as her spunky spirit. She gets that from you.
As I pulled into her school to send her off.. my heart was flooded with memories you are missing. It isn’t fair. Not for her.. or you. I had to catch myself bc I reached for the phone thinking, “Better FaceTime Eric where he can see her for her first day of school”. Then the reality hit. You’re not here. You can’t answer her call. Another missed milestone.
Hope you’re seeing all this from heaven. She sure is the GREATEST! The best parts of us.
