Hi Yo Silver
My mom had this thing of listening to classical music on her small radio. I could be wrong, but I think that brown box had only two stations: classical and country. When dad was working, mom turned on the radio. More often than not, we listened to classical. It was her favorite.

Fuck - our parents are getting older!
When I watched the final season of "Grace and Frankie" the other day, it struck me again: we're all going to die. The big spoiler of life. Before we die, we'll get even older. And before we get older, so will our parents. This is very creepy. Just as shocking and just as obvious as the realization that Mom and Dad must have had sex. You can smile away that over time, dementia and heart attack not really.

The Problem with Manners
I grew up in a household where manners were weaponized as tools of control. If you have spent much time with any children, you will know that for most, proper etiquette does not come naturally. Children are curious and excitable creatures, with bounds of energy I remain jealous of it as an adult. It's normal for kids to accidently get loud about something that strikes fascination. It's normal for them to rush through questions about things without much thought to how they are asking them. It's normal for them to get distracted or simply forget the rules of etiquette. And, the curiosity and energy that spawns this in them is not a bad thing.

Stay at Home or Working Parent
As a single parent, I have had the opportunity to be both, a working mom and a stay-at-home mom. While some have never been granted the chance to choose, both roles are extremely important for the growth of both yourself and your children. As a working parent, you have an important role in making the money and ensuring that there is a roof over your head at all times. You wake up every morning and rush through your routine of getting dressed, brushing your teeth, and barely having enough time to grab a to-go cup of coffee. You shout at your kids to hurry out the door and all pile into your low-on-gas car for school drop-off. Your job isn’t just getting up and going to work but making sure everyone is up and out the door on time and in one piece. Time is of the essence and isn’t as easy as it sounds. Kids have their own clocks that have nothing to do with actual time. They are up when you wake them but can’t find one shoe. They are completely dressed but forgot to brush their teeth. When you almost reach their school for drop-off, they remember they left their homework at home but can’t remember where. As a working parent, you continuously have two jobs at all times. You sometimes find yourself staring at the moms or dads that are the easy-going, down-to-earth, stay-at-home parents. You sit in your car as your kids jump out of your vehicle and say bye to you. You commend all the other parents as they say goodbye to their kids without an ounce of rush in their steps. You think of how easy it is being able to go home and relax after drop-off. You desire that things could be as easy as that for you as well. You admire and even envy them for the life you wish you had.

Life Twice Given
When I was about 5 years old, I had a recurring dream where everyone I knew and loved stood with me in a radiant field with one lone tree full of leaves covered in the hint of fall. Just yards away, poised resplendently in front of us, was a brilliantly colored hot air balloon. I remember thinking it was so magnificent and alluring. I could feel the warm breeze blow through my wispy blonde hair and closed my eyes as I turned to the sun. I was happy. I wanted to share this blissful moment with those around me, but when I opened my eyes, I was alone in the field. All of those cherished people had climbed into the basket of the balloon which was ascending to the sky too fast for me to catch. I stood there with panic filling my entire soul and cried as I was powerless to stop it. Then I would awake again to reality, but the panic would not subside and I would scream until my mom came to calm me and lay in my bed while I held the ties of her robe so she couldn’t leave. There was no significant event that I can remember that stopped these dreams from happening, but they just stopped one day. Far too young to understand why this nightmare would be occurring every night while I slept, I completely forgot about it until the memory came back to me as a young adult. I realized then, that my exploration of identity, though normal, might be a little bit more unique.
