Never, Ever Forget {That I Love You}

Some back story: Allen has never slept well, and to this day he still sleeps in our bed or else his nightmares would awake him enough so that he would stay awake all night (trust me on this). And if he takes a nap, he wakes up feeling some combination of mad/sad–he still is incapable of verbalizing what goes on for him. Anyway, a couple of days ago he fell asleep in the living room after a really long bike ride with his dad, and when we went to carry him into bed, he woke up… and we ended up with a 2-hour screaming fit on our hands. *sigh* Being the parent of a super-bright child is not often easy. Anyway, the next day it was as if it never had happened–for him. Credits: Everything from my Unforgotten kit (Pixel Canvas), except for the feather which is from the EcoFabulous Collab kit.

Journaling reads:“i know that / you are too young / to understand how deeply your words / can shred // i know that / you are only having your usual / blend of night terrors and / post-nap screaming weirdness // you've always had these / but now you have words / that can rip and pierce / my heart with sorrow // as somebody who struggles / in a somewhat imprecise shadow-land / between reality and memory / i so fear that you will remember only / the heat of the emotion, and that i / will somehow undergo a horrid / metamorphosis on your therapist's couch // and become the archetypal / nightmare mother figure // Oh Allen, please / never ever forget / that i love you”
