“Juniper Louisa Spencer, I love you. And I don’t know if I can love you enough for both of the parents who are supposed to be here for you and all of the grandparents you never got to know or who got themselves sent to prison, but I love you. And I will put you first until the day you leave my house as an adult, and for the record, I don’t mean the day you become a legal adult and leave. I mean the day you feel like enough of an adult to spread your wings and fly on your own.”
