Status Updates From Overnight Sensation (Brookl...

You were there for me. No advice, no drama, just … sturdy.

I love you against reason. Against promise. Against peace, against hope. Against happiness. Against all discouragement that could be.

Is that Shakespeare?

Dickens. The man was good at telling it to you straight. And he knew that the scary stuff was just the other side of the happiness coin.

Daddy had it all wrong. It’s not the jobs you work or the brand of your shoes. Spoiled is not having to look into the darkness.

“Eye transplant” is a misnomer. The cornea is currently the only part of the eye that can be transplanted. It’s a very small bit of the inner eye, not the part you see when you look at someone’s face.

A man is like a snowstorm - you never know how long it’ll go or how many inches you’ll get.

Heidi, I’m paid to face down enforcers all night. This is just another day at the office for me.

Her lips open in surprise. And since a good hockey player always finds his opening, I lean forward and slide my tongue between those sweet lips.

Hey, I may not be curing cancer, but at least I’m making busy people happy

Anesthesia is its own kind of truth serum.

Friends don’t bang friends without checking in afterwards.

But enough about me. A good Southern girl knows how to keep the conversation balanced.

As Charles Dickens once said, “Fan the sinking flames of hilarity with friendship and pass the rosy wine.” We all know that Heidi gets high marks for friendship as well as hilarity. I predict that Heidi’s next year will be full of new challenges, new victories, and a few glasses of bubbly rosy wine.

Heidi is a month away from turning 21 at this point.

Also, she had attended charm school.

She’s 8 inches shorter than he is.

He pronounced it brin mah-wer instead of brin mohr 😃
