I went and read the Autostraddle recap for the ep I just watched (S5E14, when Paige left) because they are amazingly funny recaps, but also because I knew they would honor Paiges exit and now I’m just sitting here crying because it was such a beautiful recap.

Do you want to be with them? Do you want to work every day to be together? Even when it sucks? Even when things are going really wrong or really well?

Then I froze. Trying to emulate my grandmother’s peach cobbler? Had I lost my mind?? IT’S NOT POSSIBLE TO REMAKE HER PEACH COBBLER because I’m not good enough! No one’s good enough. Oh man. I put it off for days while the pile of peaches sat on the countertop. My children lost hope. Megan doesn’t even like peach cobbler so she was fine, but I was miserable. So much longing yet so much fear! Like having sex for the first time or something. I had to come to terms with the fact that the peach cobbler I would make wouldn’t be my grandmother’s peach cobbler. It might not even be close at all, but it would be a) a peach cobbler and b) in my mouth, and in the end, that’s what felt most important. Also my grandmother would’ve hexed me if I’d let those peaches go bad.
