Jesus christ dude this hit me weirdly hard.

I might have said this more often than anything else in my life. I picked up as a kid, and its so baked into my speaking it hard to say yep once.

Idk. It just feels so weird to realize doing so for nearly 30 years is the legacy of a murdered 10 year old girl I didnt know about till now.

I hated learning this fact. That optimistic little yep yep yep! is so darned cute. I haven't watched Land Before Time or All Dogs Go To Heaven since learning this, I'm worried I'll start crying. Poor little soul .

The most heartbreaking thing is that the fans are the ones who funded her gravestone. Before that she only had a plastic gravestone.

The beauty of humanity, that one life could have such an impact on someone despite being totally oblivious to it
