We grow up

We forget about Santa, the Easter Bunny and the joy of the first spring bloom or first sunny day to ride our bikes.

We get jobs, we make new friends and outgrow old ones. We raise families and we raise each other. We become more cynical and then realize life is too short and start enjoying it again.

We start life believing in fairy tales, we realize that fairies are not alive and that castles come with mortgages, we end life holding onto an angel that was the fairy by our side our entire life and head to that castle of our dreams.

We grow up, but we don't have to grow old. Hold onto your fairy, we all have one.
