October 1: My daughters were thirteen and eleven the first time they told me they loved me, and they didn’t even say it out loud—it was written in a card.

October 2: We’d known each other for one month and three days.

October 3: I almost cried.

October 4: I did not give birth to my girls.

October 5: Legally, they’re not even my girls.
