Bittersweet (adjective): Arousing pleasure tinged with sadness or pain
Today marks the two year anniversary of Summer’s due date, the roundabout date that we should have a two year old with us. I said last year, that I’m still trying to figure out of this is a “thing” for us. I still don’t know, but what I do know, is that this date is memorable, special, bittersweet for us – this year, even more so.
So inspired by the pretty sketch I saw from @murphys_sketches, I’ve written my own little summer inspired list, to mark the date. I hope you like it.
As always, feel free to add any of your own suggestions too.
