Dear Cam,

Mama is so proud of you. Singing so loudly and dancing like the music shot straight out of your soul.

Your confidence, your love, your complete exuberance at every day.

I cried my little head off at your play on Friday. My pride and my gratitude that you chose me to be your mama is beyond the stars. I thank you, my little girl who saved my life and my heart.

Dear Shmooshy,

Thank you. It’s Sunday night and I’m sitting here smiling telepathically at you. You know full well I never expected you. You are my favourite surprise. I didn’t know Christmas was coming early this year. Hehe. Thank you for the sunshine and the peace. For the hilarious Team Sunburn (TM) tans and phenomenal laughter. Thank you for squeezing my hand, just when I didn’t even know I needed it. Thank you for your courage, and your brilliant talking to yourself like I do. Like I am right now, writing this. Thank you for being magnificent in a fragile world. Thank you for being okay with me writing this. And for reading it, like I know you are.

Dear whoever’s reading this right now,

Thank you friends for dancing with me in this lilac space of smiles. If you were a Facebook status, I’d click “like”. If you were a tweet, I’d re-tweet you. And if you were in my house I would make you tea.

My life is an awesome 360 kickflip. And I’m so thankful that I got on the skateboard.
