You always fall asleep when we watch movies. I listen to you dream as the world turns white.

It felt like we were barely making progress as we climbed the sand dunes. I didn’t think we would make it. We had no idea how much further it was, but we knew we were close. You announced that you’re going to the top and like that you took off. Because of you we summited the dune at the exact moment the sun set.

Rain, snow, wind, and sun we took it all in as we traveled around the island. We made it our mission to see the northern lights, this consisted of many late nights sitting in the dark and waiting. At the end of our trip in a field with horses grazing by the ocean, we saw the night’s sky painted green with an invisible brush.

Biking under the hot summer sun, we found utopia at the end of Cape Cod.

Lazy afternoons spent swimming in the cool clear water, followed by reading and napping on a bed of soft pine needles. Echo Lake was our home away from home.

I close my eyes and I can clearly see these moments. I hold them tightly in my mind and daydream of our future.
