O: Mama, sometimes I have to try real hard to love you, but not daddy. Loving daddy is easy.

K: Truth. You speak truth, and you and I are in the same boat on that one.

I'm exhausted. I'm not capable of writing anything new today. Please accept this ridiculously adorable photo of P with a Mickey Mouse bandaid on her head as my apology and peace offering.

And to anyone else out there who finds they are hard to love, keep trying, and if you figure it out, let me or O know.
