Sending so much love your way, David, and to Matilda too.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, David. It was hard, but I am glad you did get to see her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh David, I'm so sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
but I am glad you did get to see her.
Me too. I wasn't ready for that trip, really. But it was necessary.
I was thinking of Jacqueline's horrible odyssey to see her father before he died, when she was just out of COVID quarantine herself.
How hard it was (all of the public transportation was extremely limited) to even get there (a 40 minute trip took three hours), but how it gave him a moment of grace to pass.
Sometimes just showing up is so important for your whole family.
Kills me a little to know it's the one year anniversary of her getting her desk. She didn't even get a year of it to write. She wanted so much more.

That's no fair, David. Fucking universe. I'm glad you got to see your sister, though. I'm so sorry.
