second year

Today is your birthday and it marks your second year on this planet.

Two years of having to put up with me while I watch you grow… while I was growing as well.

I’ve never spent so much time with another living thing before. Maybe that’s all that needs to be said about my past.

Timing is everything and I don’t know if I would have appreciated what you are, prior to me becoming who I am now.

I know I’ve been an ass at times… OK… I’ve been nasty at times. But that’s more about me than you and I am working on healing those wounds.

Your patience with me, the curiosity, the unconditional love.

As I go through all of the pictures I have taken, I can’t help but smile and laugh at what you have given me.

How much laughter, silliness and fun you have brought into my life.

These are things I never had before. Never understood before.

Now I don’t understand how I could live without it. Without you.

Happy birthday Kismet!
