How I imagine the scene went down after the trade:
Mike Scioscia wanders the halls of Angels HQ, shouting at the top of his lungs.
Mike Scioscia: Jeff! Jeff! Come on out, boy! Jeff, where are you? Jeff!
Angels GM Jerry DiPoto rounds the corner.
Jerry DiPoto: There you are, Mike. Sit…
But what about his cowboy boots? Can we keep those?!
Lisa Frank is not the name of a woman, it is the name of a movement, a culture, a way of living. It is a theory, a concept, a belief in something greater than yourself. It is the belief that all girls are entitled to dolphins covered with rainbows, jewel-encrusted frogs, and unicorns in acid-trip colors hugging each other. It is the ideology that no notebook is complete until it literally hurts your eyes to look at from so much color saturation. It is the hope that no school supply, no matter how insignificant, will be left un-bedazzled. It is the knowledge that your eraser cap, and that of your granddaughter’s, and her granddaughter’s after her, will not be some boring little nub–it will be a diamond covered with butterflies in a rainbow of colors. It is the dream of a better tomorrow.

So happy :)
My fucking brother. I won best hair. So obviously we rule.
dear _________,
remember when you used to squeeze my hands so hard as a joke just to make everyone else laugh? or when i totally didnt have enough for college tuition and you spotted me an absurd amount of money within a minute of my bringing it up? or when you tried to sit me down and make me see the better side of my brother in law? or that other time that you pulled brother in law to the side to tell him whos boss and that hed better be on his best? or the times youd take me and little man to the grocery store and wed make you buy us all sorts of stuff our parents would never allow?
well i remember them all.
and its going to be horrible when i have to remember them without you being around.
so maybe you can hold on a while longer, because we all have a lot more to come that you should be a part of.
with lots of love (and hugs and all those other emotions the guzmans just cant quite show),
your niece. and everyone else (because we all feel the same)
