it's time to say goodbye now

I gave Tasha a glass of grapefruit soda and Erin a splash of milk.

Erin gave me (and Tasha) a roll of toilet paper.

Tasha gave me a slice of cheese.



These things are tiny and inconsequential but they say so much more about this 1 semester compared to 3 years. 

The day I realized you had flaws was the day I became something greater.

you are so fucking selfish

Do you remember that time we were at your house? We were talking about my summer job and you told me about a man your mother knew at the hospital. He was developmentally disabled and wound up dying in the hospital because of a physical malady and he nobody saw him for too long. Do you remember how I got up off the couch, hid in your bed, cried, and told you I didn't want my kids to die?



Tema didn't come to camp today. She had a couple seizures. Her brain is shrinking. Her brother has the same thing. She used to be able to walk in a stander until a doctor butchered her leg in surgery. Rochel Leah was a normal girl until she went brain dead from heart surgery. Matti gave me a kiss on the cheek. Suri held my hand and ran with me to the track. Tziporah ate her snack at she sat on my lap. Yoyo rarely follows directions but when she told us to base our creation from the picture on the box, I couldn't help but laugh and love her ambition. Sora Bruchah's already round face became even cherubic in her life vest as she chased me in the pool.


Nechama tries to convince me to become a therapist. Racheli told me I'm like Tema's best therapy tool. A five year old with down syndrome and peyas still holds my heart and I tell him (and his counselors) this every time I walk by.

be sure to call me when your current relationship is over so I know we're friends again.

Three of my biggest irrational hatreds are kissing, the term "making love" and the weird fascination some girls have about being light enough to be picked up.

You guys, maybe I have intimacy issues.

Third winds, hunger pangs and table weed

It's mildly taxing
adoring a person one minute and hating them the next
because you say so
