H, we were talking about something the other day.

I forget what.

But my answer was something about grit and persistence.

That might take 10 years

Without hesitation you responded:

Wow. 10 years is a long time.

I get it.

I was 6, almost 7, once too.

The days and weeks and months went on forever.

(Christmas Eve was the slowest of all.)

But don’t blink sweet girl, 10 years can go by in a flicker.

I love you.
