A while ago, I decided I was going to conclude this history of our family with Landon's 18th birthday, and here we are. Landon celebrated his 18th birthday today. He chose Hamburg steak for dinner, a dice cake for dessert, and an evening of Magic the Gathering with a couple of friends.
Our youngest is now an adult. It feels so bittersweet. I very much miss the days when we were all living under the same roof, but I have also loved watching my kids grow into the people they are today. It has been a grand adventure watching them make their own decisions and decide how they each want to do life. They are all so different, and it is fun to see who they are becoming.
So, here is my farewell. I feel sad at the close of this chapter, but I am also looking forward to what is in store for our family as we continue on to our next chapter. Maybe one day I will decide to start journaling again, but for now it is time to say adios, au revoir, arrivederci, namaste, goodbye.
