And there is so much, so much to see, Amy. Because it goes so fast. I’m not running away from things, I am running to them. Before they flare and fade forever.
And it’s all right. Our lives won’t run the same. They can’t. One day, soon, maybe…you’ll stop. I’ve known for a while. I’m running to you and Rory before you fade from me.
Well, there is one church I’m thinking of painting when the weather is right.
