Hope.

Today was a big day, Stone Sparrow.
I'm glad we watched it happen together,
even though you had to stay up past your bedtime.
Even though I had to bribe you with raisins and goldfish after you'd already brushed your teeth. Even though you'd rather have been watching "Super Why", and you suggested several times that we change the channel.

Because, this time?
This time, it's for you.

Fingers crossed.
