I’m still crossing my fingers; trying to remember
that everything is good right now. That life is good. But still, I can’t help
wanting what I don’t have.
He has been a bit unwell, with fever rimmed
playfulness; now boisterous and talkative and now dull and a bit dusted. My
heart feels like the tangled strings.
He is four something and already has a mind of his
own; we know this as parents, yet it surprises us… the little warm fuzzy thing
all dependant on you for the slightest movement; now can and does ask you to
leave him alone.
The parabola of the want of Mommy and Mommy please
go, too is dynamic. The mood, the weather, the need, the want, the people around….
Anything and everything can and will act as gravity and air drag.
No one warned me that you stop being everything
that a day comes when your kiss no longer makes it better.
Yet, in between the combiflam and comforter; we
somehow get through the day and even managed to dunk ourselves in squeals of silly
laughter.
And, suddenly heavy lidded and a bit blocked nose…
he dozes off. Don’t they look ethereal while asleep… and my heart breaks again
with love and pain beyond comprehension…
Did not indulge in the customary year end or the New
Year post! Though the first hours of this year were as fantastic as could be… I
have been in that in-between phase of melting and frozen brains
Enough! Hope everyone is happy and well and lovely
and possibly less haze-stupored than I.
