Of August

~In which I recount the many days that made up this month~

But not in great detail.

Oh August. This is the month that first greeted my little sister in to life. This is the month that summer is in it's full bloom and the heat is thick and smells like pools.

You went fast this year August. I can't believe I'm already saying goodbye and thank you. Thank you for the many warm summer nights we sat around chatting and laughing. Thanks for another month spent with my family and friends, for being the month in which Aidalei grew stronger and more wonderful than the month before. Thanks for giving me another 31 nights nursing her to sleep and another 31 mornings of waking up to her joyful voice.

I'm so grateful for everything this month has been. I'll honor it always, add it to the growing collection of months that have made up the catalog of my life. Filed it away under 'awesome and awe inspiring'.

Cause you just never know how many 'August's you're going to get.

Until next time.

Blessed be.
