Dear Addie,
It was a warm, spring evening this week as I was finishing up yard work when I looked over at you. There you were in an all to familiar scene but yet it looked different. You were just sitting - still. I wondered if you knew?
There was no swinging. No wind in your hair, no breeze on your face. I wondered.
Are you fully aware of the changes occurring? What it all means? The new chapter we are writing? With all the talk and explaining we’ve done, I wondered.
With every new chapter comes the end of the one before it, good or bad, there’s always a transition to the next thing. The next place your journey was meant to go. I promised myself I wouldn’t get emotional yet because It's truly all very exciting, but with you just sitting there I was teetering, I wondered.
You sat there staring at the sunset as if you knew this seat you have had for almost seven years had only weeks left. You pulled your headphones back from your left ear to hear the trees rustling. Soaking it all in and I couldn’t help but wonder.
Did you know this next chapter was happening? That it was designed very much so around new exciting things for all of us but especially for you? I wondered.
There you sat, still, looking at the sunset and there I stood wondering, but in my heart, I knew the answer.
I know it probably all feels a little uncertain for you right now, but it's going to be great Ad. You'll see.
I love you.
Mom
