Jessica Lu Instagram – Hi mom. Going home was weird. Calling it home is even weirder, because it’s not home anymore, it hasn’t been home in a very long time, and here I am, calling it home. Nothing was familiar to me, but everything had memories. Evy hurt herself (she’s fine) and she screamed for icecream (which confirmed she was fine), and Andy said the closest place was Dairy Queen. I had mixed feelings but I drove us to that very specific DQ and this teenager took my order and didn’t she know that I’ve been in this very DQ for longer than she had been alive? And Andy and I watched Evy happily eating her ice cream in silence, because if we had spoken I think we both would have cried. And we went outside and I showed Evy the building next door that is now a carpet store, and instantly I time-traveled. Inside was a bustling restaurant with tables filled, customers happily eating their food, Christmas lights, me and Andy running around screaming at each other probably, and you, around the age that I am now, smiling, laughing, and alive. ❤️91
