Dear Charlie

Jellyfish loves you

A saying for all things

-Grandma on my sneezing fit:

“One means a wish, two a kiss, three a letter, four something better. I don’t know what you’d get for that many though.”

-Later while I was coughing (dang cold):

"It's not the cough that carries you off, it's the coffin they carry you off in"

The Ocean

When I was little and I first went swimming in the ocean, the taste of salt was not pleasant. The years after I thought myself quite prepared when I brought gum along to combat it. I don’t know when it changed over the years, but now I welcome the salty taste on my lips, and still enjoy licking them hours later.

I am a mushy nostalgic marshmallow today.
