The Third Wheeler Will coming home (from work or the store or whatever) to find El slumped on the couch next to Mike, clearly down about something, while Mike plays guitar and sings Hey Jude to cheer her up. Will just standing in the doorway watching as El slowly cheers up again and relaxes, and as the song reaches the "nananana'" he's moved onto the couch on his sister's side as they're now all singing along and laughing.

Hey, I know we can't discuss this now, and I know why, but I'm so afraid that you'll change your mind and not tell me. I have a thousand ideas of things to do, and we can't do them, yet. I'm trying to be patient, until your life calms down, but it hurts. No matter what, I just want you in my life, though. I didn't think I'd find home in another person, but I think it's you. I'm thrilled, and terrified. You're so much better than you think. I hope it's okay to like you. -Elmie

My friend Elmie moved to California a little over a year ago and her birthday is in a couple of days. I got this pre written paragraph ima send her when the clock strikes 12 on the west coast. I’m so sentimental when it comes to the people I truly love. Currently thinking about all those times she’d pull up on me and we’d talk for houurrrrssss. How I stayed with her for like 3 weeks when her dad was in the Philippines. All the times she’d kidnap me and we would blow it dowwwnnn😂 all the trips to the beach. The LAUGHS 🤣😭 How she’d swing on anybody who tried to wake her up out her sleep lmaooo. You’d have to tap her with a broom or some shit. All of our countlesss memories. Like I’m glad she finally spread her wings and started living for herself, because that was definitely a foreign concept to her for a long time. I remember praying she finally realized she deserved so much better. From partners, from friends, from life. But I love and miss her man. So much. Anyone who knows her knows.. she’s one of a kind. And she’s known by many lol there isn’t a single norview head that don’t know who she is. I miss my dawwggggg
