Praying especially hard for those who’ve lost a parent or an important elder figure. the emptiness never does go away fully. write down every memory you can remember. keep them alive in your own ways.
me: do you know why you don’t have school tomorrow?
my 5 y/o son: it’s Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday! he was a cool man mama. he had a dream and people walked with him. and he was at Legoland!
