Today's writing


There is a difference between the way you love your spouse and the way you love your child. You can’t control your spouse’s foibles. You don’t have to answer to their quirks. Most of all, someone else raised them. They’re the ones to blame.

Your child? Totally different story. The line draws directly between you and him; your faults are her flaws. When you cry for their missteps, your tears stream jagged from vision to skin, stinging. Then you wipe them clean and drive on home.
