silence



Madison and I keep a notebook in her room where we exchange notes to each other, often several times an evening, just to help her sort things out and sleep.   I opened it to this page tonight and was struck by the fact that I can’t really truly promise safety.
Putting my kids to bed tonight was harder than usual, because I kept thinking how there are men and women out there that one day come home and their child’s bed is just empty.  And it stays empty.  And I have no words for that.
