Strong and brave

I found a book for you, Mom. It’s poetry by other survivors. Perhaps you’d like to write some poetry or paint or do something creative. It might be good for you. I know it’s weird right now, but we should be hopeful, right? That’s what the book says.

You’re so strong. Even as a little girl I knew that you were the strongest out of all the moms, and the fastest. Do you remember you always used to run the fastest on school sports days?

You were twenty-eight when you had me. I wonder what you were like when you were fifteen. I wonder if we would have been friends at school. I bet we would.

Summer seems to have snuck up on us. It’s sunny today. The sun is filling the kitchen and it makes me more hopeful. I know you’ll be fine, Mom. I just know it.

I love you and I’m sorry about the last month and all that stuff with Michael. I’m sorry I went to stay with Dad. I don’t know what came over me. It seems so silly now.

I’ll be home at five. I made coffee. Decaffeinated!

I do think we should tell Dad what’s going on. And Gina.

Thanks for the book, darling.

I’ve gone to lie down.

Mom.
