Thank you from my flat-bottom-kayak-girls heart . We climbed mountains while moving mountains doing our best to not fall overboard and drowning at the bottom of the rivers of tears that became oceans of love. Being the worlds best bestie is only because we figured out how not to be the worst together. ❤️

Ah, yes. This is beautiful and true. Much like the list of how to help a pregnant/birthing/grieving person as well. All tangled up seasons of absolute wtf-ness...when nothing make sense and you don’t want or need anyone else to try and make sense of it either. Just love on us. Remind us there’s some way and will to keep moving, no matter how small, even for the next bite of food.

When I got divorced I actually shared a duplex with my sister. Not ONCE in a year did she invite me over for a meal. And then every morning she would comment judgementally on how “skinny” I was getting. A neighbour once dropped off a loaf of bread, her husband gave me a THIRD. When there were two of us (when I was a couple) I always got half. We are no longer speaking. You lose a lot more people than just your spouse.

Oh, Jennifer. Together we could fill an encyclopedia of all the things that we’ve lost. The meanness in the loss of that slice of bread hurts my heart. It is also hilarious!! 😂 thanks for sharing - may your thighs fatten again soon ❤️ hopefully with homemade bread.

Thank you for sharing the story. The lawnmover was a pretty sweet deal. However, the best deal I found for you so far was the Kilipsch subwoofer that delivers the massive soundstage to appreciate songs like Ultralight Beam, no? I love you forever too! :)
