the dawn of an older age

tracy,

i know you're worried.
you wonder if you're doing the right thing.
and if everything will be okay.
it seems that this period in your life will never end.
that every day is a constant, uphill battle.
but don't forget,
when you look down, worried that you're going to fall,
you'll see me there.
with my hands outstretched
ready to catch you
and hug you so hard and tight

and i promise i will not let go.
ever.

love,
d
