As we pulled into your last day of second grade, this song happened to shuffle on: You Were Born by Cloud Cult. It is one of my songs for you.

“You were born into a strange world.
Like a candle, you were meant to share the fire.
I don’t know where we come from, and I don’t know where we go.
But my arms were made to hold you, so I will never let you go.
Cuz you were born to change this life.
You were born to chase the light.
You were born…”

Like a candle, you were meant to share the fire. Kiran, you shine brighter than anyone I’ve ever known. I’m so glad we made it through another year, and I can’t wait for an awesome summer with you!
