In childhood all children’s parents are mythological figures. Beauty is in the eyes of us, and, behold these giants. Huh..wow. We don’t realize til later they’re kids too, til we reach their ages. Then we’re like, how did they? What? That’s insane!
We don’t realize the extraordinary moments. Compromises they made to make you who you are for better or other til much later. “I was just five and you were 27” but, then it went. So it went. Lights left on. Too many seven elevens, and we are thankful for all of them, ten years later.
At 11 I did a swing my 6 year old sister with my hands gripping hers til I couldn’t stop spinning and she, I like to think, inexorably slipped from my grip and flung into a wooden 90’s era tv console. I had to wish and pray she’d be ok. She cried but uptighted in a second. Weirdest moment was hugging her as she was crying gently while glancing down and seeing a huge bleeding flash at the back of her skull. It was almost more disturbing that as the youngest kid she was over it and like whatever. You launched me into the wall and split my head open whatever man I’ll get over it. And she did and is the gutsiest person I know. Not cause and effect but still. She’s amazing. Off topic but when was I on topic.
