You’re already 2.

Wow.

How does time pass so fast?

Thought your Mom and I’d reconcile things by now.

She’s doing the right thing for you, though, as much as it pains me to say.

She loves you, so much.

You changed her life, you know?

You gave her purpose, kept her focused and motivated through some significant struggles.

Someday, when you’re her age, you’ll know exactly what I mean.

You’ll see everything she’s pushed through, and towards, for you.

How hard she’s worked to give you the world.

How hard she’s worked to give you everything that you deserve.

You do, you know?

Nothing but innocent joy in your eyes, something an old crab like me doesn’t see often.

Lucky to have known you both, kid.
