Reassurances
I was lying next to Tobin, waiting for him to fall asleep. He was feeling chatty, but I wanted to be a good role model, so I stayed quiet while he monologued.
T: For Halloween, I was a witch. I still love you. I wore a hat and a cape. I went trick-or-treating with Daddy and Bubby, and it was so much fun. I got candy and it was SO GOOD.
Then he reached over and touched my cheek tenderly and said…
I will always be your grandmother.
At that point I burst out laughing and pretty much ruined the quiet mood, but I couldn’t help it.
