inspirational;

I love you forever and a day. What’s going on? Don’t tell me Kerr’s been fussy again! I swear Mom always said gripe water worked so good for babies. 

No, no. Not Kerrison. She’s doing great, though. She just started walking. We’ll bring her by to see you. 

Well, it’s always been us. At galas and government doings and stupid business dinners, I mean, it was always just us kids and all the stupid grown-ups. I love it being us. I love you with my whole heart, Art. You’re never going to lose me, even when you really, really want to. I promise. 

And hey, you know our house is always open. We’ve got lots of extra bedrooms we’re not filling with babies anytime soon, so you’d have your pick. 

I love you, too. Forever. 

Oh, well there are all of my other brothers I was thinking of walking me down instead of you…I can’t believe mom and dad had all those other sons. What was it? Sixteen of them?

Not. Arthur, I wouldn’t walk down the aisle unless you were by my side. Of course you’re going to walk me down. And thank you. Honestly. I know you and Atti have had your moments when you haven’t been so keen on him, so, it means a lot.

Hm? Oh, no, I’m okay. I’m just…thinking of my mom and dad. With every happy, exciting moment I have comes that creeping reminder that they won’t be there to celebrate with me. It’s heavy, but it’s….alright. I’m still living in my engagement dreamland. I don’t think anything could really ruin my mood too much right now.

I had a buddy do a ‘lil photoshop. I hope you like it. 

Nah, bruh, you gotta keep that shit going. I love my therapist. He’s my homie.You just need to find a better one that you click with and they’ll help you get your brain sorted right.

You fool! It’s not cash. I’m more sentimental than that. 

Yeah? Like what?
