Maybe that meant good things could come from realizing you can’t do it all on your own.
I AM CRYINGGGG
I wished that things had gone further last night. I wished that I’d left a mark that the vet could see.
THE JEALOUSY 🙂↕️
Gus was still massaging my scalp. When he made it to my temples, I closed my eyes. “Tip your head back, baby,” he said in my ear, and I did. He put one of his hands on my forehead to shield my eyes from the shampoo that he was rinsing from my hair.
I’m fucking FERAL
it just sucks to feel like I don’t have any other choice but to be fine because even if I wasn’t, people would expect me to be eventually, and so I don’t know if they would take it seriously that I wasn’t. Does that make sense?”
“Roll with the punches, Teddy Andersen. And punch back if you need to,”
New mantra
As my daughter and I danced together, I knew this moment would be one of those memories that I thought back on at every big moment in her life—when she got her driver’s license, graduated from high school, college—when she got married, if that’s what she wanted. I’d put it in the same place as all the other memories I had of Riley, as well as of my mom, my dad, and my siblings, holding it close to me.
This so poetic I’m fucking CRYING
“I want to sit on this porch with you thirty years from now and look up at the sky and wonder what I did to deserve a life this good.
Yeah crying again
