Parents lose children to mental illness, drugs, alcohol, death, and even unwelcome distance. Sometimes it helps just to say, “Yeah, me too.” Read this from the collection Little Boy Lost.
Today
Today’s goal is simply, to love.
Not for what you were,
In spite of what you aren’t
Or in fear of what might be.
But because we are linked
In need, joy and sometimes sorrow,
This day we will simply love.
