Conversations of the Heart

Nearly 2 months into this adverse vaccine reaction with Lilly, I’m still a wreck. At least once a day, Lilly and I have a conversation — brain to brain, heart to heart — that goes something like this.

“Thanks for not dying, baby girl.”

“You’re welcome. Thanks for finding someone to save me.”

“Of course. You’re my best, best friend. I love you with my whole heart.”

“I know. I love you too. You look tired, though. Get some sleep.”

“I’ll try. Sweet puppy dreams. Momma loves you.”
