Path of Totality

August 21, 2017
Trenton SC
“You never forget your first kiss … you always remember your first time in the shadow,”
What did the three of us find so remarkable...
It got cooler
The wind picked up
A sunset and then a sunrise
Birds became quiet
Crickets started chirping
A planet out in the middle of the day
The street lights came on
The coolest shadows on the ground

Little Things Make Big Things

Goodbye Sweet Summer
It was a summer full of "the little things":
 Lots and lots and lots (and lots) of mommy daughter cooking while Andy enjoyed all the tasting
 Being patient and waiting...
French Press Coffee each morning

Already sweaty so why not sweat some more and grill out routinely 

And Finally....

"Because before long, you’ll be walking down the aisle with your graduating class. Cap and gown, and that wide smile of yours. I’ll sit in my seat as I choke up a bit, and a few tears will roll down my cheeks. Tears for the good times? Or tears of regret?

Tears for making the most of every moment I had with you—every summer I savored?

Or tears of remorse for knowing that I could have done better—could have been more present in what we had, for only a time?

So I know what I must do. I must make every single summer count. All eighteen of them, because it’s not a lot."

Summer Savored
