Yesterday my little Seth lost his first tooth. We don't actually know where it went (and I prefer not to think about it) but when he walked past me in morning mania, I noticed it was gone.
Honestly, I never used to be an emotional person, but I felt like crying. And then yesterday evening, when I was putting him to sleep, I was sitting (well laying really) next to him, and I read
this, and then I did cry.
I promise soon, this blog will get less sappy, and more happy.
In the meantime, here's what really hit me from it:
Please live. I don't mind if you dye your hair kool-aid blue. I don't mind if everything you believe turns out to be different from what I believe. I don't care who you love or how you love, as long as find some and give some. I don't mind what you're into, as long as you're safe. I just want to support you. I want to witness you. I want to see the things that make you smile. I want you to have the chance to be. To be happy.
Please live.
This quote is from a speech by
Kate Inglis from her speech at
A Walk To Remember - which draws attention to losing a child.
The website is both heartbreaking, thought provoking and also somehow inspiring.
