Dear Twenty-Six...

Dear Twenty-Six,

Thank you.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  You were the year I needed.  Twenty-Five was harsh, and you showed me happiness.  You brought me understanding.  You helped me to find the lessons from all the trials of Twenty-Five.  You taught me forgiveness.  You gave me clarity.

I think I have loved you more than any other number.  And now it is time to move on to Twenty-Seven, the number I have kinda been dreading.  But, Twenty-Six, you brought me to California and you gave me a new adventure.  At Twenty-Seven, I think I'm ready for it.  It's going to be amazing, wonderful, scary, difficult, exciting, happy....everything I've always hoped for. 

What will you teach me, Twenty-Seven?  Let's do this.

Love,
Me
