I've wanted this for so long because I understood it as an obligation that we tie our feelings to regardless of what they might be and I recognized the care that comes out of the obligation as a most precious anchor to tie on to. At your most recent emergency room visit, I stood by your side with a warm hand on your back and allowed you to writhe in pain and dizziness while I eyed the front desk with a diligent ear sword at the ready daring anyone or anything to try to harm you. At my most recent emergency room visit you were disgusted at the thought that I would try to drive myself regardless of the early hour and you were quick to get on the phone slam your fists onto the reception desk as I sobbed quietly into my lap because I was not being helped fast enough. It is through these small acts of selflessness that I am beginning to understand the notion that one is able to go faster on their own, but fail to get nearly as far.
