You are extraordinary. From the dawn of time you’ve marched to the beat of your own drum. At age 2 you would confidently walk away from us in restaurants and come back with milk, or whatever you needed. Your confidence has never waned. At age 7 you asked us to put your overnight camp options in a venn diagram. You chose Deer Crossing Camp (DCC) in a minute. You never looked back. You have always moved fast, with conviction. DCC is one of your favorite places in the world. You are an artist, an old soul, and a kind, thoughtful human. You care about others. You love deeply. I am in awe of your powerful sense of self. You are unfazed by trends. Your compass is your own heart and mind. Spending the last five days with you in the mountains was a gift. I loved talking about life, books, movies, mumlore, shows, camp, trail hygiene, day plans, memories and dreams. I loved sharing the experience with you. You are an incredible backpacker. You are wise beyond your years in making decisions about route, terrain, food, water, rest etc. Plus you make the best trail mix. Watching you in action was awesome. You’re a badass!!
Being your mother is one of my life’s greatest joys. Nurturing your nature feels essential to me. May your drum and compass always guide you. I love you deeply.
