“Carrigan, I don’t know another person who’s loved as deeply as you do. So I don’t want to hear another thing about what a bad person you are. You are the mother of my child and I wouldn’t want another persom on earth to have that job. And I hope she turns out just like you. Full of grit and spirit and life.”

hahaha

Once again, I wasn't paying attention. I was hit by a line drive and I woke up in the hospital. Only this time, it happened to my heart, not my head.

Was I so wrapped up in my own petty crap that i allowed 1/3 of my lifetime trio wither away in front of my eyes? Was i so shallow and superficial, caught up in me, my wants, my needs, my discretion, that i couldn't see the truth?
