Today's writing

Here’s the thing about loss: it hides and lurks in plain sight. That young mother who just wheeled her tiny baby past you in an expensive stroller? She had three miscarriages before this little boy and is terrified of losing him. The couple seemingly joined at the crotch coming out of the movie theater? He cheated on her a week ago and she knows it, but still she can’t fathom the idea of being without him. The crack in the sidewalk? It’ll break your back, but still you’ll step on it anyway.
