To fall apart while he sleeps, so that when he wakes, I can continue the fight for his future, our entire planet’s future. To keep the evil at bay. One more day.

Fall apart and come back together, again and again.

And I’m just supposed to put him to sleep like every other day of his life, keep doing all the day to day things that are all too fragile now. What kind of world did I bring him into? A world where the bad guy wins. Evil defeats good. ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS.

And now, Nazi salutes at the presidential inauguration. Pardons for the people that stormed the capital, pardons for the people who tried to overthrow our government. His school’s librarian with a Trump sign in her yard. Someone who is supposed to know fact from fiction. Media literacy? What’s that?

He’s already had so much, with covid hitting while he was in 4k, kindergarten beginning on a screen, never to have the sitting in a circle experience that is the epitome of early learning. To ”Get that diaper of your face” scorn from other parents when school finally was in session.
