SICK: A SELF-PORTRAIT
my hand, his back
He has been sick since just before dawn on his birthday on Friday: a cancelled party, many many baths, and five days later and he's still struggling to hold down food and drink. I am here, quietly holding on and waiting for this cold rainy weather to pass, counting moments until my boy-o will run wildly over the saturated green of the grass...a stick sword in his left hand and a crooked little smile on his face.

so soft and loving. and as the kindergartners sing where i work, "we wish you well, we wish you well." both him and you.
That must have been tough for him -- getting sick on his birthday. I'm thinking positive thoughts about beautiful boy and hoping he'll be healthy soon!
Oh, so sorry. A canceled birthday party is a terrible tragedy of childhood! I hope he is feeling better. In that photo his sharp little child shoulder blades look so delicate, like little wings!
Take care sending healthy prayers
Sick Kids...no fun! I hope he feels better soon!
XO,
