Broken Open
Who would have ever thought that the sight of a pink artificial sweetener packet on my kitchen counter would cause me to break down? Literally send me sobbing to my bed, trying to find my next breath and my composure to carry on with my day. But there I was. These paper packets were here at my house, and he wasn’t. He was never going to put them in his morning coffee again.

Off and Away
In four days, he’ll be walking across the stage and entering his adult life. The incredibly tall redhead with a beard to cover his baby face will graduate college and my life, as his mom, will enter another stage. There are different stages you go through as a parent, and each one brings a mix of pride, happiness, and melancholy. When you enter the realm of motherhood, those first nights of bliss when you just stand over the crib and stare at this beautiful being that somehow you birthed into the world, you think that you have all the time in the world. Then, one day you are sitting at your computer, looking at college graduation tickets and sobbing. That baby is now a man and you are left with this emptiness that has no name.

Hot Tea
To my husband: The hot tea is sitting on my nightstand. It always tastes better when you make it. You know just how I like it: Yorkshire tea, milk, and two Splendas. There is something very comforting in that fact. That you always know what I need before I need it. How you can see the signs and you do everything in your power to help.
