carmen lena bridget tibby

our mothers are still breathing
and it's you that i truly cannot breathe without
the only one i know like the back of my hand.

for a while, i think i forgot to be grateful for you
and i am very sorry about that
since, in the end, you knew
and you are everything i should be grateful to

we are only us.
it is so much more than enough.
it is something i can truly, truly trust.

google says this is probably about the sisterhood of the traveling pants. thus, i have zero frame of reference in which to comment about this! =D

p.s. i don't know about YOUR twelve-year-old, but mine died of an asthma attack, watched his agonized mother cry about his death over a period of several days while being unable to communicate with her, was LIED to by sam winchester (who is a BASTARD) and then FINALLY was convinced to move on by tessa, who is a reaper and is amazing.

riley is a liar. he came to see the sisterhood of the traveling pants movie with amelia and me and he liked it better than we did (probably because he had never read the books and therefore didn't realize how much the movie sucked. however, it still happened.)
