But for the beating of heart – a discordant rhythm – I am obliterated by fog – numbness of unanticipated loss clouded by dreams misted over – I await sun’s return….
Was that really me, signed his life away fresh-faced, innocent marched North then sailed East to unknown seas? Fuelled by anticipation, anchored by camaraderie, that boy who crawled through jungle deep weathered Burma heat and nightmarish infestations, adrenaline pumping infiltrated enemy lines unarmed, feckless nursed fears with booze adopted false bravado. Was that really me, […]
Influence minimal, once hair turns white and body slows to sloth Only words – genderless and without context serve to blindside Last weapon of age. (Image from created by yours truly.)

I couldn’t see where to comment on your post, so I will here. I remember this so vividly when raising my own children. Silly debate generated by envy, I’d say. I stayed at home with my first two and it was hard – 24/7 with minimal adult contact. When I went to work after #3, I remember that Monday was the best day of the week, lol. Guilt though, is equal – stay at home, or not.
