“’Goodnight. LOVE YOU.’ A faint ‘love you’ left my mom’s lips back to me.”
“I truly could not do this life without you. You dads are the real MVPs.”
“‘Oh my God. He’s out. He’s here.’ They put my gooey little man on my chest. ‘Is everything okay?’ My heart sunk. ‘There’s something different about the baby’s foot, too.’ The doctor unwrapped a fin, and then a flipper.”
“I woke up in a white room by myself. ‘A few minutes later, you’d be dead.’ I looked down at my stomach and was very confused about the ladder-like line of staples holding my entire abdomen together.”
“We’re all living a ‘grief life,’ whether it’s death, divorce, the loss of a job, the home we grew up in, friends – anything that was important to us. It’s okay not to be okay this holiday, but it’s also okay to feel good.”
“My dad told me, ‘I tried to bring you a birthday cake EVERY YEAR.’ I decided I didn’t want to miss any more time without him.”
“I was 100% sure it was a melanoma. I looked at it every day, thinking what treatment would be like.”
“‘How is this even the same girl?’ I wish I could remember the last time she said ‘mama.’ If I knew I may never hear it again, I would’ve recorded it to play whenever I needed the reminder.”
“They treat us like it’s contagious. But being trans is such a GORGEOUS thing.”
“‘Get here as soon as possible. I don’t think she’s going to make it.’ My heart stopped three times before they froze my body.”
