I am not that kind of person who is thrilled by Halloween. A lot of years I simply forgot this holiday. But this year’s Halloween means different to me, because I have DD.
This morning I dressed DD with the cute Halloween costume with a lovely pumpkin and “my first Halloween” on the front. Today is DD’s first Halloween and also the first to me with her.
I am wondering, how many Halloweens I will spend with her?
No matter how many Halloweens I am going to spend with her, I will do my best to make each time a fond memory. And the same with each Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year Eve…
Life is a journey, and DD is going to accompany me for at least the next 20 years. Twenty years, it sounds like a pretty long time, actually will fly within a blinking of eyes. Before I even notice the change, DD will turn to be a beautiful, graceful, and kind young lady!
Whether DD wants to stay with me longer than 20 years is totally up to her. But no matter what, I want this 20-year period to be happy, enjoyable, meaningful and worthy recalling to her and to me.
My life is a journey that I am the only one who goes through from the very beginning to the final end.
There are always people joining and leaving the trip, except for few who stay for years, such as parents, brothers and sisters, husband and children.
Therefore, why not treat nicely to those friends who happen to join my trip? Why not love those limited numbers of people who accompany my trip and become a part of my life?
It is my pleasure to have DD join my life and add another layer of meaning to it. I appreciate this opportunity to spend the first Halloween with her.
