Last night, we told Abel we’d spend the day doing whatever he wanted. We said it was to celebrate his birthday month arriving, not that we were terrified it was our last night together. And what did he choose for his day? Making pancakes for breakfast with Daddy and eating in the backyard with Mommy. Painting on FaceTime with Mémère, and playing hockey with Daddy in the driveway while Mommy cheers for him. Making homemade pizzas for dinner, and watching the fireworks with his family.
