Dad called with Carole.
Not much was said but sniffing of silent tears and “I can’t believe it” or “It happened” in soft tones.
Then Carole left and it was just my dad and me and he said, “Kurt, kiddo, I’m so happy for you. I’m so proud of you. You know your Mom is there with you. She’s with you now, she’s with me, she was in that Senate Chamber.”
And I cried more and said, “I know, Daddy, I know. I don’t know exactly how we’re doing all this, but please walk me down the aisle.”
And for the first time in years, I heard my Dad actually cry.
mom's bday celebration: a success
A+ pear tart
I cried like four times for some reason. I just kept getting emotional and I was actually sobbing at the table lol (I think I’m a bit hormonal today…) The first time was when we were singing the happy birthday song and I was like “oh god this is going to be the last time I get to sing this for her as a kid, as someone who lives in this house” and I just teared up like mad.
My mom was very happy.
I have the best mom everyone else go home.
Nothing makes me excited like roleplaying does.
I was so happy to see my drafts empty out and I was proud of myself but then I didn’t know what to do with myself because I had run out.
And now the replies are coming back to me and I’m literally squealing in front of my laptop super happy because I’m really excited about where these stories will take me.
Thank you guys for roleplaying with me. Just by talking to me I’m 100 worlds away instead of sitting in my cold little apartment on a Monday night.
It’s like daydreaming but other people can enjoy them too.
So, thanks. I love you guys.
