As I Washed My Face Tonight, I Was Momentarily Frozen. I Just Stared And Stared At My Own Reflection...
In That Moment, I Realized That There Used To Be 2 People In The World Who Looked A Great Deal Like Me - Who's Faces Alone Gave Me A True Sense Of Belonging: My Mom And My Sister.
Now, There Is Only One. Perhaps, One Day, None...
There Is Somehow A Loneliness In That Revelation. A Coming To Terms--Sorrowfully... Maybe At Least One Of My Future Babies Will Look Like Me, Too. Not For Vanity -- Just For Continuity. Connection. Sameness. Family...
