LJ Idol S11: Week 0. Introduction :)

[ellison]

In an old house in South Carolina, a mother looked out the window to see her daughter, red curls alight in the sun, dressed in overalls, raising her fist to the fence. "YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME, BOY??!" the 3 yr old shouted through the fence in response to the next-door neighbor-child's taunts. The mother smirked. You tell 'im, she said softly

I’m so sorry for your loss, I had a miscarriage as well. It can be so very difficult, people forget, but you always remember.

This is so very beautifully written. Can’t wait to read more from you.

I'm sorry for your loss too. Before I experienced it, I just couldn't quite wrap my head around miscarriage being more than a few months of sadness. It was a sad surprise to realize it's forever. I have so many friends whose children started kindergarten this year, and had my baby made it, they would've started kinder this year too. Smh. It's hard not to dwell on stuff like that, it's just incorporated into life now.

Thanks so much, I look forward to reading your stuff too! :)
