- she wants to be just like Avalynn. I think to me that would be the greatest form of flattery. I wish that Ava could see how amazing she really is. All I can hope is that she snaps out of this shit. Sooner than later, please.
I lead Abby out to my car and strap her into the back where her car seat sat. I’d gotten a booster seat for her about a week or so ago. She has been riding with me so much that I was getting tired of transferring the one from Ava’s car into my own constantly. When she was firmly strapped into place, I walk around my car to climb into the driver’s seat. I’ve decided that an outing to the mall is just what the two of us need today. I know that shopping always helps to clear my mind. Money has never been an issue for me, so I use it to my full advantage.
“How you doing, Ab? Ready for some retail therapy?” I ask her excitedly. She seemed glad to be getting out of the house and so was I.
“Can I get a toy , Auntie Faith?” She asked me nervously. She knew darn well I would get her precious little self-anything she wanted. She had recently taken to calling me auntie and I couldn’t help but laugh every time. It was adorable and I would never have any nieces and nephews of my own so I took full advantage.
“Well of course , Abby girl. Aunt Faith might get a couple of new toys, too. I love shopping!” I exclaimed.
“Can we get Mommy a toy, too? I fink that’ll make her feel alllll better.” She looked down sadly at her feet.
“We can do that. I’ll let you pick out whatever you think Mommy would like. You have the best ideas , Ab! What would Mommy and I do without you?” I tried to cheer her up, placing a big, goofy grin on my face while looking at her in the rearview mirror.
“You would cry a lot , I fink. I’m the coolest kid for always!” She shouted that last bit and I couldn’t help but crack a huge smile. She gave me a huge smile back and even shot me a thumbs up. She was the coolest kid “for always,” I couldn’t deny her that. If I ever have kids, they better be half as cute as her or else I’m taking them back to the stork for a refund.
We pulled up at the mall no more than ten minutes later. I shut the car off, got out , and walked around to grab Abby from her booster seat. I set her on the ground with ease and grabbed her hand. We walked into the first store that had toys and went in search for something perfect for Mommy. I highly doubted that Ava would be able to utilize anything in here, but it was the thought that counted. I was going to give Abby free range on this one - that alone would melt Ava’s heart, no matter what it was that she chose to get her.

I’m feeling so much better that I begged Krissi to get me out of the house. I need to stretch my legs and clear my head. She insists that we take it easy, but I am feeling fuckin’ great in comparison to last week and am ready to just let loose. Some relaxation could really do me good right now. I’m all caught up in my thoughts, none of which are good ones. Krissi and I haven’t been hitting it off lately as well as I thought we would. I know we had lots of issues before the accident, but I was hoping this would be an eye opener for the both of us. Generally, near death does that to people. I still feel this huge disconnect, though. Our chemistry is all fucked up and I can’t figure out what to do to make it any better. I really wanted to just go out with the boys, but I knew Krissi would kill me if I spent any time away from her. She’s been super clingy lately... way more than she’s ever been. Before, she liked her attention, but on her time. Apparently her time is all the god damn time now - she’s smothering me and I can’t escape.
Unfortunately I am not ready to go shred the guitar on stage or party, so I settle for a trip to the mall instead. Krissi is down for the idea, the woman loves to
