The Speed of Light

by Elissa Grossell Dickey

Dammit, why do I always do that? I’m either awkwardly quiet or I spill out way too much information.

Omgoodness. This is SO me! 🤦‍♀️

I don’t know how to describe it, how this fatigue is beyond normal exhaustion, how it fills up my insides until my limbs are so heavy and my body refuses to function any further, like a computer shutting down.

I SO feel that!!

“Same old feisty Aunt Maria.”

Aww! I love my fiesty Aunt Maria! ❤

“If you love someone, they’re never a burden. You take care of them no matter what. That’s what loving someone means.” She glances over her shoulder toward her family. “We take care of each other. It might be in different ways, but it’s all important.”

Amen! ❤❤
