Tale of Years

Esme Cullen 💜🪻

I adore her

And while I recognize this as a subtle request for an interesting story thereof, I'd rather not provide one if you don't mind too terribly much. The balance between recognizing that our children still have some teenager tendencies due to where the physical structures of their nervous systems were arrested versus respecting their long acquisition of life experiences remains a delicate one. One aspect of our life since the pandemic has been resting in the experience of feeling like a married couple with grown children and the freedom for Esme and I to feel that way has also meant leading with less tight a grip. That has been hard, and rewarding.

i am Cassandra—she, who without asking, understood it all and still came to her fate, i, Cassandra, full of visions, who sees her own death without turning away...

‘She kept her arms around me, and after a few moments I laid my head on top of hers. She sighed, and hugged me tighter. It made me feel vaguely childlike. As I had told Bella, I didn’t have memories of being a child, nothing concrete. But there was a kind of sense memory in the feeling of her arms around me. My first mother must have comforted me in the same way’.
