Another late night for us. His stomach hurt and he just needed to talk more until he felt better. So I laid with him and we talked. It’s what we do. You learn to sit with the pain. To be friends with it. I hated it and cursed it for so long. But something happened this year. Without planning it and without execution. But. He and I…..we got used to it. Am I still angry about things, yes. All the time but somehow, somewhere in all the mess and in the dark with tears and all, we became friends with the pain. It’s been a shit year. But so was 2019 and 2018 and a couple more before that. Like 2014…..pure hell on earth. So yes 2020 globally sucked. But we made it. He made it. Again. Through surgery, through Covid, through family tragedy, through therapy for his arms, through treatment, through 12 months of Chicago trips even when it wasn’t safe because we HAD to, and through pain….so much pain. But. We did it. And as always it’s been my honor to tack on another year with this kid!!!! Bold As Love!!! And as always Fuck Cancer!!!!! 🅰️🌈⚓💙
