Replying...
Intro. [🥀The Quiet After🥀]
I used to measure time in small, ordinary things—Lucas’s laughter in the morning, the warmth of his hand in mine, the soft way he said Mama like it was the safest word in the world.
Now I measure it in silence.
Six months of fighting.
One quiet morning of losing.
And an entire lifetime learning how to breathe in a world where my son no longer exists.
His room still smells like childhood.
His toys still wait for hands that will never reach for them again.
And every night, when the house forgets how to make noise, I sit in the dark and wonder how a heart can keep beating after it has already been buried.
