“ I lean down so that my face is right in front of hers and whisper, ‘He doesn’t love you. I love you. ”
That's how you know you love someone, I guess, when you can't experience anything without wishing the other person were there to see it, too.
~ Kaui Hart Hemmings
Why is it so hard to articulate love yet so easy to express disappointment?
I'll never be ready. Yet at the same time, you always want to reach the end. You can't fly to a destination and linger in the air. I want to reach the end of this thing, and I feel terrible about it.
A sea of red lights, and I slow down. My job now is to gather everyone together and tell them we have to let her go. I won't tell anyone over the phone, because I didn't like hearing the news from the doctor that way. I have maybe a week to handle the arrangements, as the doctor said, but the arrangements are overwhelming. How do I learn how to run a family? How do I say goodbye to someone I love so much that I've forgotten just how much I love her?
