parent. i am trying to figure it out, and make it up as i go along. i develop a routine. work with brother to make a plan. make a contingency plan. make a contingency plan for the contingency plan. do your best. lay awake in your bed worrying until the early hours of the morning. get up out of bed and do it all over again. it has made me an old thirty.
we stare at each other across the kitchen. some of the tile on the floor between us is cracked. some had chipped and come up. there is a three foot oval hole in the ceiling plaster above us.
