Oh Wyatt. How will you look back on these years? What will you think of yourself, of your parents, of the world when you look back on 2020 and the weirdness that happened? You've had a lot of weirdness forced on you: COVID 19, distance learning for your Junior year of high school, friends and family moving away, no sports or social activities...a lot of weirdness. You've also picked some weirdness to take on this year: you know what I'm talking about.
However, I think you are learning and growing every day. I think somedays you give into the weirdness and comfort yourself with video games. Other days, you push against the weirdness and make plans with friends or clean your room. You are smart and so funny. I know you are going to keep rolling with the weirdness. I hope you will look back on this time with kindness and grace for yourself and the world.
Happy 17th birthday my biggest boy.
