Status Updates From Hearts on the Fly

This quote 🤭💛💛
“Val Elliott, you have shown me what true kindness looks like. You
showed me the love of God before I even knew that’s what I was looking at.
And every day I spend with you, sight or no sight, fills me with endless
moments of sunshine.”
My eyes water at the nod to my nickname.
“It’s with love that I kneel before you to ask if you would do me the
honor of becoming my wife.”

Okay, I do like that Jackie is a bit kinder and she worked on herself and her husband, Isaac earlier

Awww, Fran’s baby is named Luisa!!

Green flag that Jabari wants to respect Val, and that he wants to respect her father.

I do like that Franny and Jabari are in Val’s corner (especially while she is on her period!)

Okay I love that Jabari remembers what movie Val likes

I do like that Fran and Val are being nicer to their stepmom, Ann.

Jabari’s prayer after calling his mom 🥹💙💙

Okay, Fran, Val, and Jackie are mending their relationship (one moment at a time) and Jabari is trying to navigate his (possibly) vision coming back

More Swoony kissing and Jabari is meeting Elaine, a lovely church attendee who helps him accept Jesus into his heart.

Jabari’s migraines are being treated by his friends, and I love that Jabari is praying and trying to have a better mindset about his condition. And he thanked God for Val! 🥹🥹💙💙

Before my mind can melt and exhaust more potential ways this might
backfire, Jabari speaks. “Val . . .” he says softly.
I swallow. “Yes?”
“It’s okay. If you don’t want to kiss, we don’t have to. I would never do
anything without your consent.”
“I do want to kiss you. It’s just that I got all in my head.”

Oh the gentle kisses 😚

“Jabari . . .” Val pushes me as a giggle flies free.
She sounds lighthearted and happy. If it’s possible I make her as happy as
she makes me, then God is real. There’s no way I could’ve found a woman
like her on my own.

Okay, I don’t like that Jackie was trying to talk over Val and not take accountability for lying about Jabari cheating on her, but I do like that Fran and her parents ( for a couple moments) advocate for Val.

Oh no, Jackie saw photos of Jabari and Val on a daye, and she’s creating a fuss in the family.
