Change and Birthdays

Oh hai.

As things do within time, my life has changed.
Looking back at this blog, I'm grateful I did record to the extent of that part of my life.
Before I remembered I had this blog, I've been trying to remember things from this time period and have fallen into a pool of fragmented mess.

Since the last post here, the biggest change is my family.
The children have grown which is great- that's what they should be doing.
I have grown which is great- and what I should be doing.
The hardest adjustment we have had to make is that Mike is now Ghost Papa who lives in our hearts.

He still helps us grow by helping us talk to ourselves.

Yesterday was our first family birthday party with Ghost Papa.
My rational self tried to be of some assurance for me that Ollie was going to love her party regardless because all she wanted was to be surrounded by friends.

Despite a last minute location change and an unexpected wind chill factor, she had a great time. That is because her birthday party wish came true- for her to be surrounded by friends.

My Little Bit showed me again that she lives in the moment- a quality I admire and cherish.





Thank you to Nanna for supplying her GymFun services, Granny for making Ollie's special request Dora cake, Julie for providing photos, and all Ollie's friends and fam for making this "the best birthday ever."
