As the sun began to set I'd start to feel anxious and by nightfall I already felt the waves of loneliness and despair cover me up.Danahttp://writingatthetable.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864262147582811345.post-39033939937970518712015-06-04T09:31:15.608-07:002015-06-04T09:31:15.608-07:00I completely understand that loneliness your daugh...I completely understand that loneliness your daughter speaks of.

And am struck, as at our house we are muddling through a 9 year old who is waking in the night and not able to go back to sleep. She is scared. She says mom, "Its so lonely, so scary to be the only one awake in the house." I can feel into some primordial terror that is alive in us, something existential that recedes in the light of day. Will be thinking of you and this new third child. The world has been made anew.Cristina Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14430193860978418509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864262147582811345.post-33797362772443255792015-06-01T19:32:26.259-07:002015-06-01T19:32:26.259-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Francinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563542764388133912noreply@blogger.com
