My father printed a quote from The Velveteen Rabbit in large type on the wall. The stuffed rabbit asked, “What is real?” And the rabbit asked, “Does it hurt?” And the horse said, “Sometimes.” “Does it happen all at once?” “It takes a long time. Generally, by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, your eyes dropped out, and you get loose in the joints. But these things don’t matter at all because you are real. You can’t be ugly except to people who don’t understand.”

This is the photo my mother kept in her bedroom. When I was a kid, I thought that was my arm giving her daisies. Now I make a new mistake and I think it’s her arm giving me the daisies, saying, “here, here’s simple and happy, that’s what I meant to give you.”

“ And I can really see Anna’s eyes in 2003. Her ears. Her feet. This is what it looks like when she says ‘I love you’ in 2003. This is what it looks like when she cries. When she tells me there’s always a new empty room waiting for her. They used to make her feel free. Now they make her feel the opposite of free. ” - Oliver
