The best moment of my life so far is the day I vowed to live life with my Favorite, the anniversary of which is incidentally, this coming Monday.
The second best was the day that we went, with my brother- and sister-in-law, to see The Best Damn Band in the Land, and I got to see the drum major and sousaphone player dot the I in OHIO in person at the Rose Bowl. (keep your eye on the front point of the script Ohio and you’ll see it. It still gives me goosebumps and makes me scream in delight.)
But I think yesterday that moment was beat out by this one, the day I got to stand up in front of my colleagues and friends and fellow graduates, some of the brightest, most insightful, intuitive, brilliant kind, generous, challenging, and inspiring people I have ever known, and tell them how grateful I am for them and how much they matter.
Thank you, friends. Your mark in my life is indelible. This moment will continue to shine in my heart for a long, long time.
