seriously?

Yesterday, while gchatting with my mom, she makes this nonsequitor:

ROZKA: you're so cute and pretty and smart

It's a bit ridiculous, i know. And M. wonders why i can't handle tough love. See above.

Then, Doug really went all out this morning in response to the pity party i threw myself on the blog last night. This is part of a larger, beautifully written note:

D, You’ve set yourself up. Sure your words would do her ‘honor’… but I assure you, that YOU, DSBI, you the person, the daughter, the sister, the wife, the friend, and all that you already are, and all that you are going to be, is what makes Lola (my grandma) still smile, ( wherever she is… ).. and makes her very proud.

Are you capable of reading that without tears in your eyes? If so, check for a pulse.
