Heya, Tumblr. How’s things?
“Why? Because no matter how many years go by — 10, 20, 30 — you will be changed irrevocably. You may think of your dear one almost daily and you will have days out of the blue that knock the wind right out of you. Certainly, the pain softens and eases over time. However, normal grief will always have moments of reoccurring sharpness, pain as raw as the very first day. But, consider this. If I suggested that I could wave a magic wand and make all of your enduring pain disappear instantly — with only one catch, that you would never have known your dear one… ever, they never would have been born — would you take that bargain? No, you wouldn’t. And you wouldn’t because that relationship, that love, touched and enriched your life immeasurably. Your life without their physical presence is painful but your life having never known them at all is unthinkable. Their love was, and continues to be, a great gift.”

Better get him a picture. It won’t look like this for long.
Should I tell him he parked underneath a pigeon roost?
Sadly, this portion of my day requires shoes.
That sky, guys.
“Wait. Rewind. Go back to something bigger than ourselves. Stop there.”
Yes. I like this idea.
Oh jeez. Now I gotta go pee.

What you break is what you get.
Holy crap, guys. Your dinner plans were just invalidated.
