His Birthday
I would say that I am in a good place in my life right now. I’m grateful. I feel a sadness today, that I can’t be with him, spend the day with him to celebrate his birthday. I don’t have the same feelings as I used to, but I miss him at times, his comfort…

A lot of firsts today!
Took my first Uber ride Solo to the airport…. went well. Surprised at how smooth travel can actually be, when you travel alone. Flying Solo too, feels like I’ve been doing this my whole life, when it’s actually first time! Wheels up!

Thanksgiving
Very different than the last twenty five years, but that’s going to be my new normal. Different. Thankful for another year, my parents, family and friends. This one was different though, because we spent it apart. Another first. I did enjoy the day with my parents. Thankful for them.
