The last time I saw this kid,  he was almost a foot shorter and his voice was an octave or two higher. He now thoroughly enjoys teasing me about how his feet are bigger than mine, how he can pick me up and spin me around, and how he can look me almost square in the eye. After I picked my mouth up off of the ground when he first got here, I realized that he’s not a little boy anymore. Even though many changes have occurred in his life, there are a few things about him that, thankfully, haven’t changed: He still looks at me like I put the sun in the sky, he still tells me almost a hundred times a day that he loves me, and he still likes to squeeze my neck so hard that I fear he might break it. If only he knew that part of my heart walks around outside of my body…and it always tags along with him. #littlebrother #KKH #mybub

"Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass."

“I have to say, 14 years later, it’s still a pretty useful list of phony-baloney vocabulary that editors are well-advised to excise from stories.”

Stitch a few of them in the order listed and you actually do have phrases and / or sentences, tho.
“Don dubbed eatery ‘eponymous.’”
“Lifestyle maven.”
“New York’s Finest, overly penned.”
(Also “New York’s Finest” is the official nickname of the NYPD.)
“Staffer tapped, um, uh, well, a who’s who of zeitgeist.”
