Dear Sage at 9,

The past few years have flown by more than ever before. As I think about you growing older, I feel nostalgic for the days when you were our only child. For four years we explored the world with you, gave you every ounce of our available time, listened to your stories, adventured in the outdoors, played with you, celebrated you… And while I am certain you didn’t come here to be an only child, I do wish I had more time to dedicate to you.
