Time Travel
Oct 4, 2024
Standing on the cusp of motherhood,
life as you have known it is about to
change. Dramatically. Fundamentally.
Forever.
It’s a powerful threshold. Liminal space.
No one is ever ready. Big changes, and
smaller, subtle ones. One thing never
changes. No matter the age of your child,
you would take a bullet to protect them.
Love, instinct, who can say, but I know
it’s true.
This year our son is the age at which I birthed
him. Time is strange, the way it can fly in both
directions at once.
You know how much I love to watch things grow.
It’s been my great joy to see Scott’s life unfold.
My great joy to have him realize his gifts. My
great joy, to be his mother. Happy birthday,
S. T. We’re so glad you were born.
