Am I the only one who felt... relief? After Dad died last month, after six years of 4am wake-ups and spoon-feeding puréed anything and wrestling him into the shower just to have him scream at me like I was a stranger, I just… stopped. I went to the grocery store yesterday, for MY groceries, and not one single thing on my list was for him. Nobody else feels this insane lightness after wiping someone’s ass for half a decade? I can sleep past five now. Five! And I don’t even know what to do with myself.
