12:38PM:

I am remembering me at your coffee shop watching the tv, watching the drama you always laugh at me about, and suddenly I see you turn the corner, clutches off, smiling the world's silliest grin.

And I did a little scream and my heart burst with pride.

You dismiss my fussing and tell me how you can do without your clutches now. We walk home and you alternate between using them then not using them. We take the road stairs and I smile at you stupidly.

I was so fucking proud of you.

And I always will be.
