May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
PRETEND I JUST FIST PUMPED YOU! if it's rejected, whatever. good for you, you put yourself out there and that is the hardest part. now no matter what happens it'll be easier next time! also, whatever you put your heart into is good. i bet it is a wonderful short story.
sending lots of good thoughts towards you and yours... i'm glad your sister is alive, and i don't have enough words to say how heartbreaking/sad/sorry i am about the twins. sometimes the shittiest things happen to the best people. hang in there!
