Pandicorn

I may not have gotten chocolates, flowers, or even a card for Valentine's Day of 2016 but I did get a day filled with a lot of joy; and a really big dead spider that I took a shower with. He's on my Instagram. For a day that's been so hard for three years for me, today and this weekend have been good. Delila and I have kept busy and we've enjoyed doing so while also remembering Jeremy.

Today I spent the day with Delila and her bff Caroline. After a sleepover here, we headed out into the endless snow to Chipotle and then against all better judgement, to the mall. The roads weren't great at all but I already told the girls we'd go. It was a day for Painted Penguin. Delila has been many times but this was my first time. Who knew that painting this little ceramic thing would calm me so much.  It also helps to laugh at these Snapchat obsessed girls who compliment each others personalities so well! They are my Pandicorn.

There is no greater joy for me than spending time with my daughter, with and without her friends, and watching her grow up. She's such an incredible person who I'm lucky to be a parent to. 

I am very much looking forward to the things to come this year. Hopefully the first is that I won't have to see or feel anymore cold air and snow. For those that reached out to me yesterday on Jeremy's anniversary, thank you, I love you and your kind words mean more than I could say. To know that someone is thinking about you is probably one of the greatest feelings, and it's a very humbling feeling. I hope that your weekend was a good one, and if it wasn't, I hope there was a least one shining moment that really made your heart smile. 

I adore you.
