• Separation – Moments with Sir

    Sir settles onto the couch beside me. He doesn’t look at me right away, but he puts his hand on my leg, a warm pressure. He doesn’t look at the TV, either. His mind seems focused on other things. I can’t name a specific reason I think this, but I am sure of it as he settles beside me, and lays his hand on my leg. The Walking Dead is on the TV. Screams, gunshots, and rasping groans fight to win my attention, but they were already weak contenders, and Sir’s presence easily overpowers them. I wait a breath, feeling my belly tighten. My doctor just talked to me yesterday…

  • Faith

    This poem is by Shel Silverstein.  I need to hear this today.  I need to believe this today.  I think Sir and sub brother can use this, too, so I am going to work on believing it for them, as well.
