they are grown and doing their own thing but you miss those assholes all the time
its hard when you think about one of your kids you havent seen for years and you realize you dont even really know what they look like now

sleep punctuated with bouts of thoughts of my daughter and her husband and then uneasy dreams of myself and my grandson
and then roughly shoved into wakefulness by a worried mind
this evening my husband referred to me as kin which i took negatively and that makes me sad
30.7.2023 01:33this evening my husband referred to me as kin which i took negatively and that makes me sadi am looking very forward to the day i wake up and the first thing i think about is something other than people who have hurt me
29.7.2023 15:17i am looking very forward to the day i wake up and the first thing i think about is something other than people who have hurt meat this stage of my life every morning upon waking my mind immediately runs toward all the things i wish not to think about
and those things are usually about how i have fucked up as a mother
but as i write down the words i have fucked up as a mother i feel like that is an unfair statement to myself
because mostly as a mother i was pretty good if i may say so
but yes i made some large mistakes and those are the things my mind wants me to dwell on to self flagellate to really make myself pay for those mistakes i made
i have no happy ending to this post or upbeat platitudes to leave
but i will try again today to be compassionate toward me
