It’s been a while since I used Twitter, let alone this account. So update I have a puppy and I am constantly in a battle between wanting to give her nothing but love and selling her for free.
My 3 yo said goodnight to all of us tonight and then in the dark I heard her little voice say, “Goodnight myself. I love you. [pause] I love you too.”
