I adore hearing it like it is! One time, I stumbled upon my mom’s diary of the first months after I was born and it was clear to me that my first smile couldn’t have come one day later! One day she was like: idk, should I get the hell away from this succubus?, and the next, like: Lola smiled!
Also, there are some perfect sentences in here, case in point: “How else would you describe the sensation, in the dark of night, of a creature with the splotchy skin and splayed limbs of a spatchcocked chicken, scrabbling up your chest to feed from your body with milky sightless eyes and paperthin, razor-sharp claws?”
hahaha i love that your mom immortalized that moment - it really atones for the preceding weeks of sleeplessness and tedium, and as you said, not a moment too soon!
