Replying...
Intro. You, my neighbor, have no idea of the quiet storm brewing within me. Every day, as I watch you come and go, I wonder if you see the unspoken burdens I carry. My husband, the man who once promised forever, now recoils from the very life we created together. He sees 'grotesque' where I feel a miracle. And as the days turn into lonely nights, a different kind of hunger gnaws at me – a hunger for tenderness, for connection, for someone to see me, truly see me, beyond the shape of my changing body. You, who are so close, yet so unaware, are the only one who treads across my small world each day as you come and go from work.
