My stars in a Jar
When I think of you,
it feels like a dream I once kept in a jar.
When I fear being far from you,
I whisper to the moon to watch over you for me.
When worries weigh on your heart,
I’ll sit beside you—to hold you, to stand with you.
When I see stars sparkling in your eyes,
I'll run with you to celebrate the joy of life.
When tears fall from your eyes,
I’ll be there, quietly holding the weight of your sorrow.
When I won’t see you for days,
I’ll hold on to the calm you wrap me in.
When you say, “I miss you,”
I’ll remind you— I, too, want to fly towards you.
When you turn your head and I’m already looking at you,
I’ll smile— a little shy, wholly yours.
When I look up at the night sky and count the stars,
I’ll wish for you—the one who makes my feel alive.
And still, I don’t know how to keep you safe in the fragile hush of my dreams for so long.

Mumma!
I hear the cry when I am not in the same room when you open your eyes. I roll my eyes , dropping whatever I was doing. Here comes the first in the series of commands for the day. I see you rubbing your eyes, asking if you have to go to school, and the look of sheer sadness that f...

Every damn year, the breakdown comes swiftly, like a storm untold, heart racing, mind spinning, losing control. What seems like joy then feels like a weight, an imbalance growing, too heavy, too late.
November 4th, When you wish upon a Star
Listening to my daughter narrate stories- why is this such a gratifying and being in wonder and an immensely being-in-awe moment for me? All the time, Always…She did not speak till she was 5 years and a few more, I never knew if she would.. And now, I can't get her to stop..As I ...

As I sit here watching my daughter Blow Bubbles with so much Joy and Utter Bliss, her right leg injured from a fall in the bathroom as she Seized, and yet she singing and Blowing Delightful bubbles in the air…She doesn't know what a seizure is and how and what happens to her whil...
