Dear Isaiah

I woke up out of a dead sleep last night. I realized that I will be in Hawaii on your first birthday.
Naturally, I didn't plan my trip with that knowledge, but now that it's done, I can't help thinking that I should have recognized that and altered my plans.
Your big sister didn't seem to understand what was going on for her first birthday and she didn't even want any of her cake. But with you I know it will be different. Sure, there will be confusion about why everyone is there to take pictures of you, but I can guarantee you'll go straight for the cake. And what a sight you'll be. I'm going to miss seeing that. I am sorry.
