And, here we are. On the very cusp of change.
The very facet of life by which I have defined myself changes within the next twenty-four hours.
And change…this change is good.
The selfish ways of my life are ending. The one where I focus entirely and only on two things, now become three.
Today, I sleep for the last time in a home I have created and forged and cobbled together alone, with the cheerleading and pom-pom shaking of my daughter.
When I became a single parent, she was still in diapers. Nowadays, she’s choosing curtains and reading books at night.
From tomorrow, there won’t just be me to investigate things that go bump in the night. From tomorrow, there will be two people to dry tears, read stories and run bubble baths.
I’ve done this on my own for more than five years…I feel like I’m graduating.
As I walk towards the greatest of our life changes, I am grateful for the strength that has guided me through it. I am thankful for the love that this life change has created. I am fall-upon-my-knees grateful for the daughter I’ve been blessed with. It is this experience that has moulded me.
I’m overwhelmed that, from tomorrow, two become three.
