We Cried
After a long cry for mom, Ezra is now sleeping.
-v- left for work for the first time since Ezra left the womb.
Before -v- left, Ezra was in a really good mood.
Ezra and I were smiling and making noises and talking about stuff. I was talking to him about some process I am writing for Money Job. He just smiled and didn’t say anything, which is what most people do when I talk about writing processes. Then -v- came down, and we began talking and making noises and smiling with Ezra.
Then -v- started getting ready to leave for work.
Ezra became fussy Ezra: shaky fists; pouty lip; red face; pivoting head; eyes searching for something.
That something was mom. As mom was leaving, Ezra’s fussiness became very loud cries and screams. Ezra reached for mom after I stood with Ezra in arms trying to calm him.
We cried.
We parted with tears still wet.
Ezra is now sleeping.
