Reflections: That wasn't enough time to get to all the things I wanted to. I found myself wanting to mention every little thing I love about my kids, but I tried to limit myself there. I started kind of general, encompassing as much as I could into one statement. I tried to list different kinds of things, but still leaned heavily into the people I love. I only edited myself once, because I was about to write something that's maybe too explicit for a public post. No judgments. I love what I love.
