Entry #7

Your Mother

You are four months old.

It is late on a hot night.

Your mother sometimes looks lost in heavy thought and she doesn't know anyone is watching her.

Cries from the other room make her sad; we kept you out too late and you are upset. The sounds you make are gut-wrenching to her. I know this because she said so.

I don't know how to make either of you feel better.
