Yep, proud to be from Topeka, Kansas. I was all sorts of giddy listening to Harriet Lerner on Brene Brown’s episode and her introduction mentioning her time at Menniger Foundation in Topeka. That being said, I honestly can’t remember if I ever saw her son, Ben Lerner debate.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.”
– Helen Keller It is the halfway mark of Ramadan, the point where the exhaustion is high and the thoughts of how to plan for Eid are in my head. Will Duck Donuts be open, how do we make sure my parents see Zakaria's joy at opening up their gift to him? I then realize that I will make it work, even if it is my first Eid as a single mother and I won't be able to ask if my daughter wants me to do her mehndi.
It‘s International Bereaved Mother’s Day.
I think back to being in the ICU and watching his blood pressure stabilize when he heard my voice or when he squeezed my hand when he heard Zakaria’s voice. Man, I want to hear his voice. I want to smile as Zakaria and him giggle while they try to hide my Mother’s Day present. |
