Support her. Teach her. Empower her. Lift her up when she is down. Hold her hand when she is scared. Stroke her hair when you’re in bed. Never belittle her. Never downplay her achievements. Never gaslight her. Tolerate her tiny sins. Remember this and tell her you love her every day.

We let Ivory go today. Then it dawned on me that i’m actually all alone on this planet. There are no close friends i can turn to, no shoulder to cry on or anyone to sit beside and contemplate a world without my dog with.

“This boat’s her’s. Her people gave her treasure for her home voyage. And she was sad when the boat came because she knew she’d be leaving everyone behind. And she was worried they wouldn’t get on very well without her but she knew she had to follow the King into the sky. And so, she set off through the earth and up into the cosmos.

Sandwiched between two point blocks is a place. It used to be a playground filled with sand but now it is synthetic rubber flooring that does not require much maintenance. The younger ones are clambering all over the platforms of the castle-looking structure. They are roughly four to six years old, clad in outfits of various designs and colors. ( Read more... )
