In my life...My husband buys the pet food. He feeds the dogs and cat.
I genuinely don't know if they've eaten today.
Not because I don't care about them.
Because they're not my responsibility.
I went through my camera roll recently and noticed the toys all over the floor.
The full laundry hamper in the background.
Junk piled on the counter.
And everyone was smiling, laughing and playing.
That's the stuff I remember.
Not whether the dishes got done. Not whether the laundry was put away.
I remember being with the people I really love.
Sometimes putting things down is realizing they didn't need to be done right then in the first place.
