She opened her eyes and smiled at me!!! Thank you, universe.

Sister’s resting again, under her furry blanket. “Cozy”, as she calls it, her favorite feeling. A win!

Last night, I cozied under a kambal, on my sofa, with her daughter, until we both fell asleep. My back was bent into a shape that was certain to kick my ass all day today (it is), but I couldn’t bring myself to move her. Those silky light brown curls were spread all over my upper body, so any fidget would cause her to wake. Her beautiful curls remind me of late-90’s Mariah Carey, so naturally I began humming, “Always Be My Baby” until I passed out again. She smiled, I squeezed. Everything about that moment was present. It was cozy and it was perfect.

She’s safe and she’s loved. And now you can rest, my love, not one worry left for you on this side. 🫶🏼
