583. Birthday eves! There are three coming up, starting tonight with the eve of our sweet Lily Belle's 7th birthday.
584. A quiet house shared with Lily this morning - she at the laptop next to me working on her online reading assignments learning about hibernation, and I at the other laptop working from home before we went to her school together for my volunteer day.
585. Seeing a different side of Lily in her classroom, so much more grown up, responsible, and a leader than we give her the room to be at home. She has just given me a gift to see this in her, and I suppose my gift to her will be to let her wings grow.
586. Stopping at the post office after school today to buy stamps and mail the letter that Lily wrote yesterday - a full circle experience.
587. Leftovers. Delicious leftovers. We are so lucky to have a refrigerator and freezer full of lunches and dinners to get us by.
588. Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies. Nevermind that I ate too many of them today, I enjoyed each and every one!
589. Being able to hug our friends in person today who are fresh in the face of grief.
590. Stopping my evening rush to read books with Emmy.
591. Birthday plans coming together, just in the nick of time.
592. Balloons and streamers just waiting for Lily to see them when she wakes up tomorrow morning.
