Tim's first night home was a little rougher than expected, but things will get smoother from here. We're both tired, but he's still snoozing, which he'll do on and off all day. Rest is priority #1 for him, so he's got that part down.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Our wings are not tired.
A lot to be said for that rest part. The pain vs pain med issues balance can be a tricky one too.

Tim is super diligent about setting an alarm for every 6 hours to take his pain meds, because it's so much easier to control the pain when you're staying in front of it, so to speak. If he waits for the pain to get bad before he takes meds, it's a lot harder to get the pain back under control.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Good news: I'm not a lazy fuck!

Hec, sometimes I have asked my mother to read your blended-family postings because they are so remarkable to us. The weird part in mine was that the two "steps" also took against each other,whether from strong personalities or out of some misguided attempt to help their "side", I've never been sure, but they weren't even involved in some of the original arguments, but it didn't stop them.

It was a conscious effort to foster a relationship between Matilda and Emmett's mom, and it has grown to be something so nurturing for all. A bond that helps make our family.
You and EM really did a fantastic job of coparenting and moving past the old hurts, I can't stress this enough. Too many people just can't.

What Plei said. I really really admire how you and EM were able to do that.

Ugh. I hate this. JZ is our most gentle soul, always there with a kind, loving word, able to see the beauty, humor , and best side of everything (including people). It's just not fair.
