Well, let’s just say I’ve got some big shoes to fill and high expectations of love and marriage. Geesh, parents! They are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary today. I am so happy to have been shown what a healthy, caring, awesomely loving partnership looks like. My father is a jovial man with a laugh that can simultaneously penetrate through walls, warm the soul, and scare the crap out of small children. My mother is kind. Like the craziest kindhearted person in. the. world. No “jk”s here. Together they are amazing.

“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.”
– Vincent van Gogh

Living each decade, each year, each day, with patience, laughter, and hugs.
