Esprit de l'escalier

Wow, it’s getting down to the wire and I feel like this is the first time I’ve been able to rest and refresh for the past 3 months.
Wedding planning is insane! There are so many details that never even occurred to me before. Silly things like choosing the color of the chair covers or whether or not to decorate your toasting glasses. It’s been such a wild ride and through it all I’ve learned a lot about myself and the people who love me.
I think what I’m having the hardest time with is knowing how to say thank you to the people who have done so much for me. For example, my roommate Michelle. She is such a life saver and the biggest giver I know. I know she’s having a hard time with the idea of me moving out. I’m having a hard time too. We’ve had so much fun together and have grown a lot. We both know that neither of us are falling off the face of the planet, but it’s still hard realizing that we’re transitioning into a new chapter of our lives. I want more than anything to find a way to say thank you for all she’s been for me.
Another example, my mother. She’s the one who has basically organized the entire wedding and has been preparing me for this day. She’s helped me know what steps to take and when to take them; she’s explained to me all the traditions and etiquette so I know what to do and why it’s important that I do it. The works.
Needless to say, I have been feeling very humbled and eternally grateful. And tired.
