A conversation last night:
Madeline: When’s Daddy coming home tonight?
Me: He’s not. He has to stay at the hospital. You won’t see him until the morning.
Madeline [sadly]: But he’s my favorite person to sleep with.
Storyteller & Speaker
“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”
―Flannery O'Connor
I just love this.
(even though it’s sad)
Elizabeth often says things like this about Bob too.
“When will Dud-dud be home, Mommy?”
“6:00 (I pick a random evening time, usually), sweetheart.”
LARGE DRAMATIC SIGH
“BUT, Mommy, I miss him SO MUCH.”
(It does not matter how long it has been since she has seen him.)
