golden birthday golden lesson

Yesterday was my thirtieth birthday. It was all a bit intense for me, as it felt like I was turning the page from my youth and fully entering adulthood. In reality, it's obviously just another day, but I lost sight of that. I had a moment today, however, when I took Nick to the backyard to do his business. It felt like any other bitter cold Michigan winter's day, taking care of my guy just like I have been for over three years. Leave it to Nick to teach me a valuable lesson.
