Happy Birthday David!
A bit late, but I can quite easily blame it on all of the 'full house' goings on here at the cottage this week.
Everyone arrived on the 12th, just in time for David's birthday on July 13th. His actual day of birth being a Friday so, so much for that bad luck thing, because this guy is truly one of the best things ever bestowed upon me.
I love this picture of his two year old 'all in' approach to swimming, because it was how he engaged with the world in his growing up years, and how he does now. Fully present in every moment, wide with expectations and loving the surprises of curious spontaneity.
These days we are together reclaiming and redeeming the very same space by the water where he so exuberantly splashed himself in face first, over and over, that summer so long ago. There's so much story in between then and today, but/and we could not be in a better chapter right now. It means so much to me that we figured out how to do this. And that we both waited for it.
I'm glad you could spend you birthday here, David. It only makes sense.
I'm so proud of you who are...in spite of me.
