The Whisper Man

by Alex North

As much as I loved Jake, I found it impossible to spend all day, every day with him. It didn’t feel like there was enough left of me to fill all those hours, and while I despised myself for failing to be the father he needed, the truth was that sometimes I needed time to myself.

I related to this just on a mom level. You love your kids so much but sometimes we all need our own time to recharge. It’s understandable.

“If you leave a door half open, soon you’ll hear the whispers spoken.”

The butterflies didn’t have a choice, after all. That’s what things do. Even in the toughest of circumstances, they keep living.

Just loved this quote and love butterflies too

grief is a stew with a thousand ingredients, and not all of them are palatable.

Great quote about grief
