I sat in that car in the driveway of a quiet house and read it four times.
Here is what I know about 18 years of ordinary days: they don’t feel like enough while you’re in them.
The Tuesday fevers and the badly braided hair and the school concerts and the two-in-the-morning kitchen floors feel like something you’re just getting through, not something you’re building.
But you are building something.
You’re building two people who can stand on a stage in front of three hundred strangers and say, without a script and without a tremor, exactly who raised them.
