Summary
Daryl's mama once told him something that he never really appreciated while she was alive. When stuff got bad, she'd look at him with that exhausted half-smile on her face and crouch down so that she was eye-level with his much shorter self. "Honey? At some point- something's gotta give. You just gotta be sure that when it does, you're strong enough to handle what happens next."
Smart lady, his mama.
After they lose Beth, the decision to keep surviving is hard. It takes everything they've got to keep going.
And the funny thing was? When Daryl faltered, Rick always seemed to be right there to pick him back up.
This is a story of how far you have to fall before you can make it back up again, and of the people who make it all worthwhile.
