parents
The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
Eye Sea Past The Bottle Now.
When my daughter was six and my son was four, I divorced their father and took them away. Unfortunately, I was not too bright back then because I made a terrible decision to remarry too soon. Seven days after the divorce was final, I found myself married to a narcissistic man. Being married to such a man was like traveling in a ship through stormy waters close to the Bermuda Triangle. Giving birth to our five sons only added to the tides.

Crashing Waves Of The Heart.
Morning here was foggy, grey, and damp. They were the type of cold that stuck to your skin making you ghostly white. It was not until the sun hit the horizon, staining the sky like dandelions stain your hands in springtime, that you felt you could finally breathe. The house had sold during the hours of damp grey to a younger couple that was new to town. Fortunate for both of us I guess seeing how it had been so hard to sell it before. The locals here always passing me with pitty written all over their familiar faces. No one wanted to buy the house because they just thought I was selling out of a mourn-induced psychotic meltdown.

MOM FOREVER
Jewelry, flowers, and chocolates are great, but here’s a list of what moms we polled really want for Mother’s Day. We’ve even included some extra-credit tips for overachievers. Or you could go with one mom’s response, which pretty much sums it up: “I want a Wonder Woman cape, preferably made out of diamonds, along with the statement: ‘You were right about everything, and we’d be lost without you.'”

Jade
I’d never been to Cafe Luna. At times my father, Dario, would retell seemingly insignificant stories that’d take place near it but never actually inside of it. It's that little cafe right around the corner from his home, you know, the house he was born in because Hilda doesn’t trust doctors. I guess single mothers can develop trust issues after the father makes enough empty promises. I never actually took the time to imagine what it looked like because, well, why would I? For so long it was simply a setting to the memories he’d re-live, nothing more.

The Special Date
They had met before, although back then I would not have called it a date. In fact, they had met many times before today. Today was special though, they were in a new town, and it had been years since they had seen one another. Based on the clock they still had a few hours to wait. If it was going to be special Mike had plenty of work ahead of him.

Wednesday
I had tons of macaroni salad and fried chicken left over, but I didn’t want to serve that. I wanted tonight to be special, our first date night since… So I am serving your favorites: short ribs and mashed potatoes with sauce—I mean gravy. You were always a meat and potatoes man. Thank you for humoring me by eating the brussel sprouts.
