For one or even two parents this is too concentrated
but for an extended family it’s just the right dosage of delirium. All of the kids’ dumb shit breaks people out of the day-to-day like a drug. Paati can go from mourning her son to sewing her great-grandson’s toy back together
because it simply must be done

by being their emotional support animal
you can live a little longer
a little stronger
and feel less alone for a minute. Caring comforts the carer
