I’m not fine…

When someone asks me how I’m doing with Addison living in Colorado for school, I steer the conversation to talk more about Addison.

Because truthfully, it’s hard to talk about it. We miss her energy and exuberance. Her moodiness and humor. I miss knowing she’s upstairs in her room or sitting next to me telling me about her day.

And truth be told, I’d rather not focus on my sadness but on her excitement at all these new experiences in college, the daily face-time calls, text messages, and how much she’s really becoming an amazing young adult.

I’d rather focus on being thankful for being able to provide these opportunities for her.

So thanks everyone for asking. We’re doing fine… But do you see how great she’s doing?
