God’s Timing

It only took months but he finally got it. After countless nights, Carl figured out a way to keep himself safe from his sister’s wrath. It was as simple as timing. He figured out that if he came into the bedroom before Bee, he could race across the room, jump onto his chair, and snuggleContinue reading “God’s Timing”

Walking Past Fear

Carl was frozen in fear. Once again, he wouldn’t, or maybe couldn’t walk past the object that terrified him. During the day when the light illuminates all around him, he is big and in charge. He dominates without hesitation. But at night, without the clarity of light, this all changes. Each night, Carl will ariseContinue reading “Walking Past Fear”

Vulnerable

Staying Close By

I will appreciate these moments when everyone is being kind to one another.

Bee sat next to the ottoman and Leo stood in front of it and began to bark at the piece of furniture. After a couple of moments, CarlContinue reading “Slipping into Loneliness”

Marking Territory

Over the years, I have also come to understand that I don’t need to win an argument or be financially successful to find the joy that was destined to be mine.
