I intended to start this with a line from a song that I love, called Jack & Diane by John Cougar Mellencamp. It’s about holding on to “16 as long as you can, (because) changes come around real soon (that) make us women and men.” I was going to write about how magical this time […]

You are here, at the start of a moment… Double Digits! A decade in this world and with our family. You reminded us last night that you wouldn’t technically turn 10 until 7:55 a.m. this morning and joked you were going to shout out, “I’m 10!” when the time came at school. You are very […]

I wrote and shared another version of this post one year ago today. At some point since then, I found my notes from a session with an old therapist (who moved out of state a few years ago). I discovered that processing “missed potential,” and not “missed opportunity,” were the actual words she used to […]

You’re fifteen for a moment, caught in between ten and twenty… You probably don’t know this song reference, but we’ll remedy that today. 15. Years. Old. Say what? When did that happen?!
