Luna : where to begin.
I knew the double digits were approaching, but I guess when it happened it was so hard to believe. 10 years with you. 10 years getting to know you. 10 years of you growing into the person you are meant to be.
Some days I have no idea what I’m doing and I feel like I failed you. Those days seem to be happening more frequently lately. The phrase the days are long, but the years are short has never felt more applicable. Right now days feel hard. Right now life feels hard. We are grappling to hold on – like being on a boat during rough seas.
All I know is that I will always be there for you. Yes I am flawed. Yes, I make mistakes. But the one mistake I will never make is not holding your hand through life. You are mine and I am yours forever. The older I get the more I realize that you are the true love of my life.
You still love to dance. You love to sing. You love to perform. It’s when listing all these things out that I realize not much has changed since you were tiny and in diapers. You love going to school and being with your friends. Reading books. You love shopping and are really starting to Understand personal style. I love watching you find yourself. I see you shifting, I see you changing into a young woman, and although it hurts sometimes, it makes me smile.
You are infinite and capable of so much. You are on an edge of life that feels limitless, and I know you are so much more than you can ever believe.
I love you, always, and feel so lucky that I get to see you grow.
Happy birthday, moon.
