When Zach was 3.5 we went to Mexico.

I took him out one night to look at the stars. Music was playing – so obviously we danced.

And I told him that the stars shone for him.

And wherever we were in our lives, we would always be united through the stars.

“Star light, star bright” became a regular thing in our house (and still is to this day) 🌟 .

When Zach’s dad and I divorced, things were sometimes a little rough – routines were messed up and bedtimes were a little tough – so often I’d let him stay up a little bit longer and we would dance to “Yellow” by Coldplay.

When he was 16, we saw Coldplay in concert 💛 .

So choosing a song to dance with him at his wedding was a no brainer – it had to be Yellow.

I got super emotional when it first started…

He’ll always be my little boy who the stars shine for.

I’m just so grateful he found a beautiful woman who loves the moon and the stars as much as he does – and now the stars shine for them.

And, as Zach pointed out to me during our dance, next week we will be in Mexico as a family – where the stars tradition all began – full circle 🌟 .

🎶 Look at the stars

Look how they shine for you

And everything you do

Yeah, they were all yellow 🎶
