I've been flatlining for months - exhausted, crawling into bed at 2pm each day, wondering where all my energy has gone. I listen to the news and it's full of vitriol and hate. Bombs. Shootings. More hate. I can hardly listen without going...
He texted, "What question do you not want me to ask you? What question would you find disconcerting?" I didn't write it. I didn't dare. But what came to mind was this: Are you a good mother? Because all I can see sometimes is how I fail...
Ben was in a talent show at the local toy store last year. When I asked him what he'd like to do, he said he'd like to perform one of his songs. His "songs" at the time were a mashup of jewish folk tunes and heavy metal. The likes of...
