I hear it in their voices,
the shaky place inside
that doesn’t quite know what to say
to a mother that is facing the unbearable.
I hear the relief
drip from their forehead,
as they thank the Almighty
that this crisis did not happen to them.
Thanking the divine
that for now,
their children are spared.
I see them go about their normal days
where they watch their own children play,
and little worries come and go.
I go home to a house full of therapists
and celebrate
the simple interaction
of my son’s hand in mine,
as we walk and walk,
walk away
with the unsayable diagnosis.
