To A Friend, waiting for a miracle

I have Things to complain about times three.

The laundry times three, the kvetching times three, the missed naps times three. The Lego I stepped on at three o'clock in the morning on the way to give the baby a bottle. The yogurt that gets finished too fast, the milk that gets spilled. Times three. The ripped books, the sticky floors and fingers. The dinners I spent time on that get poked and uneaten, the game of Candyland with two missing pieces, the...

...blog entries that get interrupted and I lose my train of thought so they stay, unfinished

Unfinished

When my baby wants to be held and I'm busy, and I hold him thinking about the million things I have to do, I also try to think about how much heavier it is to hold nothing at all.

Which is not exactly what i wanted to say.

Maybe there is nothing to say?

I love the way you ended.
I was smiling as I read it...thinking about how I miss all that...and wondering if I took the time to appreciate it back then the way you seem to.

Yes, it is very heavy not to be holding anything at all.

Great line.
