Gift

Oh my fucking God. That was amazing. Beautiful. Perfect. Everything. I don't think an adjective is good enough to even describe it.

I am openly crying, now, thinking of when my baby brother was born. I had just finished my math homework in the cafeteria of New York Hospital in Flushing, and was then dragged into the delivery room by my stepdad.

Oh God, that brought back memories. You captured the emotions and tensions of the delivery room so well, the thoughts that run through your head when a baby is about to be born in front of you. Memories before my brother's birth (things so irrelevant like my first kiss, a dent in my flute, Eric Carl books, concerts) and images of the future (will I be a good enough sister? teaching him the alphabet. his kindergarden graduation- while I'm in the 10th grade. potty training. dropping him on his head) killing me while my mom's screams hurt my ears. She didn't take the drugs, and she wanted me to hold her hand. It was a death-grip. I had to sing to myself to distract myself from the pain. I sang Headfirsts For Halos. Oh God, so many memories.

I can't even express how I feel about this anymore. This is just... fucking amazing. Seriously. Perfect fucking job.
And if this doesn't get to the brothers... I will hunt you down. That's a promise.

xoxo

oh, nadia, you have no idea how important your review is to me. i read your reviews on other stories, mostly harley's, and i love how you're so open and emotionally honest about it. yes, i did send it to mikey. i also sent it to my friend bekk, telling her to make sure mikey sees it so he can show gerard. i'm going to check again just to make sure. i don't want you to hunt me down. thank you so much, nadia. i'm having an awesome day, i just made a new friend, and i have the best friend in the whole world. (that's shehadtheworld12, read some of her stuff), and now i have a review from you. i must be a good writer to be able to bring up so much emotion from you. you sang headfirst for halos. like gerard sang "umbrella" in the story. thank you, nadia, for your time and kind words.

god bless, you nadia.
