Mother's Day





You, little boy, are the exquisite creation continually shaped by the honing and whittling, the white bone picked clean. The importance of you Staying Here. Yes, you are more than fully aware of your job, as your innocent and knowing message says. I am only deeply sorry to you that I have laid this enormous burden upon your very young and beautiful determined shoulders.
It's as if the very d.n.a of me knows that it is mother's day and turned upside down, it is a day when I sorely miss having you both, my children, here to squeeze. In remembering my mother, I am full of gratitude and know what I have been handed down. But - the hinge upon which my mother and my two children swing - has a few screws loose.
Blue as ever, little girl, your father sends your love in a card that can only be you - you , in this, are the hinge that attaches the wings. A much better place to be in.
Love to my children, ever keeping me together today.
