I love that you threw up on your shoes. I shook in place for a while and then I threw myself on the bed and hollered in joy and then I wished I could call my mother. But she knew, I think. I was out of body for about a week. Sometimes I still am. :) I love this story. I love that you threw up on your shoes.
