Love What Matters

‘No Lucy, you can’t play with that zip!’ I try to release her grip from the zipper on my pants. A crowd of people are staring at the grown man with a 2-year-old grabbing furiously at his python.’

“My daughter is obsessed with zips at the moment. Legit obsessed. Given the level of peace and quiet this provides me, I’m fully supportive of this new interest. That was… until the other day. You see – I happened to be wearing shorts. Shorts with a zip up fly.”

‘I was getting my meat at the butcher. She proceeded to ask me, ‘You gonna get your tubes tied then?’ HALT.’

‘I open up a box of tampons and they all come falling out. My son asks, ‘what’s that?’ I say, ‘they’re baby mice!’ ‘Aww cute!,’ he said, while I’m internally laughing.’

‘He was 6 months old and only 9 pounds. I am a living nightmare. They knew it was all a tremendous f*ck up. They knew he was like this because of them.’

‘How much will it take to make this man drool?’ Prostitution sounds like an okay option. Pole dancing looks fun too. Why not? These were serious questions I was asking myself at 17.’

‘We brought our newborn home from the hospital and she was showered with attention and gifts. When we brought our 1-year old foster son home, he was not.’

‘You wouldn’t have lost weight at the holocaust.’ I had things like ‘fatty’ and ‘ugly hippo’ scrawled across every school book page. I felt like dying. I felt like giving up.’

‘He didn’t want what he’d been given. He would hardly even look at it. He wanted the gift that had been presented to somebody else.’

‘You’re so damn tired you don’t want to be touched. When it came to sleep or sex, sleep always won.’

‘I did something horrible. I broke all my rules. I told my son not to eat too much crap or he will get fat.’

‘Babe there’s no way I’m going to survive this. Fire surrounds us, transformers are blowing up and the winds are fierce.’

‘I woke up to hear him gasping. I thought, ‘Is this actually happening?’ As I watched my husband turn blue to gray, I cried to PLEASE not take him! I begged him not to leave me and the boys.’

‘No Lucy, you can’t play with that zip!’ I try to release her grip from the zipper on my pants. A crowd of people are staring at the grown man with a 2-year-old grabbing furiously at his python.’

‘All of a sudden, I hear the doctor say, ‘She’s bleeding out!’ My baby is stripped from my chest. I knew if I freaked out, I would just lose blood faster. I can see the fear in my husband’s eyes.’
