Told my 12 y.o. cousin about waiting all week for Barbie movies on Pogo every Sunday at 8. She looked at me like I was describing ancient folklore. I am the ancient folklore.
The other day my brother asked for my opinion about the girl he’s dating. I told him just one thing: Choose someone who’ll stand by you and help take care for our parents when they grow old.
I got my Dada a new wallet and slipped in some of the money he’d given me for my vacation. He noticed, smiled, and quietly put triple that amount back into my purse. That simple, pure love honestly brought me to tears.
