mom was unresponsive, ambulance took her to the hospital

I wanted to let you know that I need a minute

I’m not running away, I am not isolating from you

I just have to hunker down a bit

Quinn / 5:40 a.m.

Oh, Quick! I’m so sorry.

Is she okay??

What can I do?

6:21 a.m.

nothing to do but thank you

she’s stable now, heading to rehab at some point

I need some time alone but I don’t want to worry that I’m hurting you

6:22 a.m.

No, I completely understand. Don’t worry.

Whatever you need to feel, deal, heal.

Please let me know if you need me.

I’m glad she’s going to rehab, Quick.

6:24 a.m.

yeah me too

and I will deal

you taught me that it’s better to slough than to stuff

6:25 a.m.

I love that, Quick.

Yes. Please don’t stuff it down.

6:31 a.m.

I won’t

6:32 a.m.

I miss you already but it’s okay. Take your time.
