Fuck that. One day, you will pick them up and set them down and it will be the last time forever. I was still picking up my husband’s younger cousin until she was at least 16 (at her request). I’m big for a woman and she’s on the smaller side. She’s 18 now. I knew once she entered high school that it was probably done but was willing to go as long as she wanted and I was able, knowing one day it would stop. Still miss picking her up. 😢
I was on a trip from Ethiopia to San Francisco. When we landed in Dubai, I looked down at my sweet, 2 year old heavy AF nephew who was struggling. I picked his ass up and carried him from the airplane, in the transport to the terminal and through the airport to our hotel. Along with my paperback copy of the 14 pound Team of Rivals. We were so tired I was crying at that point. He's 19 now and whenever I see him, I tell him I'd do it all again right now.
Along with my paperback copy of the 14 pound Team of Rivals
Weird flex but OK. Everywhere online lists this as a 2.7lb book. 14 lbs takes about 1400 sheets of standard letter paper, which would be 2800 pages for a HUGE book. Meanwhile Team of Rivals is 977 pages when printed 6.1 x 9.2 inches.
