It wasn't just about blood relations or shared chromosomes, but something wider, bigger. We had many families over time. Our family of origin, the family we created, as well as the groups

You bring out the best in me too, Terry. You do make me stronger. You're, like, one of the most supportive people in my life.

Happy birthday to Ste.

Right back at you.

I don't think I'll ever stop missing him. You know?

[john_movinon]

I honestly don't know where I'd be right now if it wasn't for you. You took chances on me other people wouldn't have. You took chances you shouldn't have.

I do know. I miss him all the time.
I stopped by at lunch and saw Gillian and the kids today.

I wish you could see yourself the way I see you. Because for me, those chances seemed second nature. Perfectly natural. Necessary.

I brought him flowers. Stupid, but you know.
How are they?

[john_movinon]

I guess.

I don't think that's stupid. I think it's nice.
They're okay. Miss their dad, but they're holding up. Gillian's really great, so that's awesome for them. You and I should take them out sometime soon.

[siryn_song]

It's true.

I would like that. Yeah, Gillian is amazing.
