natalie
my name is natalie... and my brother's name is tobias.

fast forward to kingsley's 1st birthday party.

rene
hi natalie, do you want a balloon?

natalie nods her head up and down while a smile slowly emerges.

rene
if I get you a balloon can I call you nat?

natalie just stares at her. any smile in anticipation of receiving the balloon is now gone.

rene
if I give you a balloon will you let me call you nat?

natalie
okay.

rene finishes untying the balloon. all smiles. she triumphantly hands the balloon to natalie.

natalie
my name is natalie.

and in one continuous movement turns and walks away..

if you're mad or sad or angry or fed up or bummed out side step and try to take another, better, God filled perspective.

if you're happy and full or excitement or just having fun,.. let's hook up later and hang.

have a grand week everyone.
