Since their father had passed away, the bride’s brother prepared a special moment for his sister’s father-daughter dance.

This will be happening at my wedding, with my dad’s brothers and best friend, probably to ‘Father & Daughter’ by Paul Simon.

“She comes to me when I’m feelin’ down 
Inspires me without a sound 
She touches me and I get turned around 
She’s got a way of showin’ 
How I make her feel 
And I find the strength to keep on goin’ 
She’s got a light around her 
And ev’rywhere she goes a million 
Dreams of love surround her ev’rewhere ”

"What the fuck is wrong with you? I’ll pull your dick through your asshole and out the other side!"

my mom, explaining how she felt when a student of hers referred to four-year-old me as “that bitch” because of which school I had gotten into

Gartan Mother’s Lullaby by Melissa Ericco

I sang this song (among many, many others) to my father on his deathbed. I sang this one many times when we were all alone, just me in the room with him, the beep-beeping machines, and me singing this song huskily over and over while stroking his hand or his forehead.

Oh, Daddy, I miss you. Today marks three years since you were taken from us. 

"Well, my little town had four or five churches, all different denominations, but that didn’t matter. They’re all the same God. All the same God."

my wise grandma Martha

Lent

p.s. hey Laura remember what Daddy and Grandma say…’don’t wish your life away’ (and Daddy added, ‘enjoy the here and the now’)
