Dear Av,

I'm going to try to write a little weekly note to you Av, to let you know how much i love and cherish you as you grow. Out on my run today i saw a little girl pulling her wagon along; i felt a little jolt when i thought that you will be doing this soon - time has really flown by over the last year! The next block a driver's ed vehicle passed and a pretty girl flicked her bangs out of her eyes with insouciance as she confidently accelerated away from the stop sign. Another pang; before i know it this will be you and you'll be making strides to make your own way in the world. For the time being though, you're my little Avril-Boo.
