Happy Halloween from Darth and Di ✨

This is the photo I’ll display when she gets her PhD.

She’s four today. I couldn’t love her more. ♥️⭐️💙

When I was a little girl, my mom and I would sometimes walk down to the corner store on a hot day. She’d let me pick out a bottle of yoohoo or a sleeve of donettes. I can still feel the cold bottle in my hands and my eyes squinting against the summer sun. It’s funny how little things like that are cemented on your memory. The things we remember and the things we forget. Sometimes I feel like I am my mother. I can feel all the pieces of herself she gave to me, living and breathing and moving inside me. I hope I pass those pieces on to my own daughter. I hope she feels them too.

This was taken five years ago today, on Connor’s 5th birthday. Today he turns ten. Having a preteen is crazy and weird and wonderful and I love it. He is so fun and smart and cool that it makes the fact that he’s growing up way too fast almost totally bearable. Happy birthday to the little boy who made me a mother and the young man you’re growing up to be. I am so proud to know you and be a witness to your childhood. You are so loved, today and every other day.

Does her own thing 🥁

I feel really, really lucky for the friends we have. I can’t wait to look back on these photos as our kids grow up.
