"Unfortunately for you, your death will not be as grisly or swift."

Yet, every day I still fight. I make connections whenever I can.

"I slept in the shape of a starfish. I ordered room service."

I'm leaving my kids for a few days. I'm leaving Coraline for pretty much the first time ever. I'm flying out to the East Coast.
