Chapter Text
August 1, 2021
I am so thankful that Ma and Pop live here on the island and can see me happy again. In a healthy relationship with Steve that Rachel and I had lost many years into out marriage. I pray that never happens to us. Therapy and Gail will make sure it doesn't. I am also glad that he is so accepting of Steve and our relationship. He grew up in a time when it was frowned upon to love someone of the same sex.
I am beyond words at how grateful I am that Charlie and Gracie are finally home. I missed them so much. I am not really fond of the idea of Amanda writing a book for Steve but whatever... I'm not reading the thing and I'll put in the noise canceling headphones before I allow Steve to read it to me either. I love him, but even I have my lines drawn at certain things.
