ronanlysnch:“you told me about the walks we’d take when i was 3, you holding my hand, around the neighborhood, all the way to ross’ farm. i didn’t know that i remembered them, but i do. cause i see the sun and the corn and that cow that walked up to the fence and looked me in the eye. and you told me about all that stuff, but it isn’t just that stuff. it’s how i felt. holding your hand, i felt happy and special. i felt safe. i thought growing up was about getting a job and maybe a family, being an adult, but growing up is making yourself and the people you love safe, as safe as you can, because things happen. they happened before. you were shot before things went bad. kind of felt like things went bad because you were shot. i want to make you feel safe, dad. i want you to feel just like i felt when you held my hand. just to feel that way for five minutes. i’d give anything to make you feel that way now.” -- source link
