It doesn't seem like yesterday.
I realized that this morning. When Larry woke up and turned to me and said, "Can you believe we've kept him alive for six years?"
That is a miracle unto itself, yes. But. Can I believe that Gus is six? Yes. I can. Honestly, I can't believe he's only six. Because it feels like he's been here forever. Like we couldn't possibly have existed before this child was born.
This child who defines us.
You're Gus's mom. You're Gus's dad.
Entertains us.
Exhausts us.
Enlightens us.
Educates us.
Empowers us.
And brings us joy.

Peace to you too, Gus.
Happy, Happy, Birthday.
