On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Jesse, I hope that you and your family finds strength and peace. It's always hard.

Aw, Jesse. I'm glad it came as easily as possible, even if the timing sucks for the living. I'm glad you were able to have her in your life as long as you did.

So very very sorry, Jesse.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm so sorry, Jesse.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My condolences, Jesse. And I'm sorry about the bad timing, that's rough on your various family members.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh I'm sorry, Jesse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My mother really liked today, which was good. I didn't see her last night with the tube in her throat struggling and upset, so I think it was good for my mother to see her so peaceful, and for us all to be together the way we were.

....and at dinner we started talking about what we're going to do to the apartment before I move in.
