8, 690 days after parenthood began, the last 519 days having been shored up by Junie's contribution alone, it's done.
The last of the kids has turned 18. I logged into my medical app and it's only my info.
Not YaYa's.Not Lu's. Not Smiley's.
And as of today, no Junie's.
The childhoods of Team Slap are just memories now, and nothing more. I hope, as the youngest enters adulthood, that she recognizes how much effort and sweat we put in to make it memorable for them all.
My baby in the window. My Lump. My Ginger. My Junie. 18. A grown-up.
Damnit, i can't stop bawling.
Happy Birthday kid. Sto Lot!
