Hey Lori...

God, how long has it been...

Carl and Judith are great... they're growing, they're changing, they're surviving... Carl’s a man now, making good and bad decisions just like me... Judith is getting so big and Maggie swears she looks more like you... I've always seen you in her...

Lori... I'm slowly starting to put it back together.... We've lost Glenn, Beth, Hershel, Andrea... Maggie's pregnant... she and Glenn finally got married. Our home, isn't our home anymore... we're fighting. We're always fighting.

So... there's something else...

I've fallen in love again...

I didn't think it was possible. After you, I just thought, well, I didn't think initially, but just when I had met our daughter, I met someone else as well...

Michonne. Her name is Michonne.

Lori, I know in the end it was bad for us, but I always wanted what was best for you and I know in the end, with your sacrifice, you wanted what was best for Carl, for Judith...

God, her name is Judith...

Michonne is a wonderful mother... while she will never replace you, she had taken up that mantel and I love...

Lori, I'm in love with Michonne... I'm sitting here, watching her sleep and as bad as things have gotten, as much as we've lost, I'm hopeful.

This new world and this beautiful, intelligent, brave woman has granted me the opportunity to be the man I never could be...

I love you, Lori, and I miss you. I'm thankful for the life we had. For the child we shared and for the child you sacrificed yourself for. Please know that they are in good hands.

I'll see you eventually, my dear, but until then, rest well...

Friyay: Favorite episode feat Richonne

It’s gotta be, season 5 episode 11: The Distance.  Hands down.  Easy pick.  This episode, for me, was aaallll about Rick and Michonne and their dynamic as a pair and as individuals.  Their similarities.  But most importantly, their differences…  Unlike Rick, Michonne saw the good in Aaron.  She played it smart, scoped out all she could, and came to the conclusion that Alexandria was the group’s next step.  It had to be.  But Rick wasn’t sure.  He wasn’t buying it.  But can you blame him?  

Given their lives the past few days, weeks, and months, the Governor/Woodbury, Garreth/Terminus, Noah’s campsite, and Grady Memorial Hospital, have all been dead ends.  And they all resulted in losing members of the group.  He’s tired.  Tired of trusting strangers, and risking the lives of his family.  He had every right to put his guard up.  It’s “safer” that way… right?Wrong.  The rules change… and they keep changing ;)  

But after suffering through all of that– side by side, after being on the same wavelength for so long, Michonne thinks and acts differently.  Adjacent to how Rick’s thinking and acting.  What I love is that she doesn’t cower when he instictively pushes back at first.  No.  She knows what she knows and goes after it.  And because of her bold choice, the rest of the group speaks up and their opinions are the same.

I love this episode with every fiber of my being.  Rick may be the “ring leader” of this band of survivors, but he wouldn’t be the kind of ring leader he is without Michonne.  We know it.  He knows it ;)

Richonne 7x12 Party week Monday: Scene that made you ship Richonne.

4x01 - Lets be honest, I knew there was something there during Clear, but I think this scene really made me think about them being together.

Richonne party day 4 🎉🎊🎊🎉 My favorite quote. Michonne showing her loyalty to Rick. 😍😍😍 I love when Rick tell Michonne thank you. Its never a thank you for something she has done. Its a thank you for existing. Thank you for existing Michonne and thank you for choosing me. Thank you for being my family. Thank you for forgiving me when I was an asshole to you.
