“What will his name be?” the nurse asks.
 
 “Ryan Michael,” Mandy says, and I feel the sweetest sadness. That was the name of my dad.
 
 Leaning down, I kiss Mandy on the forehead, and then I kiss Ryan in the same spot. “I love you both so much.”
 
 Mandy smiles tiredly at me. “Love you, too.”
 
 Wrapping my arms around them, I vow to never let them go. I know firsthand how short life is, and I will cherish every fucking second I have with them.
 
 “We gotta do this again.”
