letters to rylie – 5 years old
dear Rylie, how are we here? how are you 5 years old, in Kindergarten, martial arts, and picking your own birthday party themes and cake flavors without any prompting!? I remember when you were an infant and these days seemed so far in the future. I yearned for the day when you would sleep through […]
