Every Friday we unite for five minutes. Only five minutes, that's all we get, that's all we have. And then, right where we are, no edits or second thoughts, we publish those words. This week, we write on two.
Me and you, just us two. - SJP
As our time as full-time parents is nearing it's last stretches...
And we are 90% of the way there with one and 85% of the way there with the other...
And my childhoodtake2 is forever changing...
We are getting closer and closer to, me and you, just us two.
Because first, there was you and me. And our little Mia made us three.
Then, we added Anna as our perfect number four, and since she was such a good idea, we decided to add...just one more.
This was the message I sent to family and loved ones when we announced our incredible son.
And as Cole became our exclamation point, and Mia raised us right, lived her purpose, and went to rest, we just kept on going.
As the fog of parenting really settled in, and we lost our way, we just kept on going.
By the time we added Perfect Pearl to our lives, we, I, needed a reminder of love and more love.
I needed a lot more joy and healing.
As we added career changes for the better, and sports schedules, and our kids grew and grew, we came up and out of the fog, and we just kept on going.
We continued.
We fought hard to continue.
We drank from a fire hose of changes.
I felt it more, I always do.
And now, we are in the final stretch.
I can't tell you that there will not be moments in the next few years that I won't break with dispair because I am watching them launch, but I am excited to see how we also launch. How we decide to keep going.
How we continue.
Because it's always been us, it's always been a we.
Me and you, just us two. - SJP
