happy birthday, mike

my big brother
it was on this day
eight years ago
that i last spoke to him.

it was after his death
that i started going by the name
“em”
he was my “M”
he was mike; i was mary jo
in our family
there were two P’s
two S’s
and the two M’s
he was my “M”

now i am alone
em alone

i miss my big brother

i'm a disaster at every type of relationship i enter into...except with my kids. i think i'm doing something right there...but it is difficult to tell sometimes, especially since i have a pretty crappy support system since support involves relationships. i am a pretty dark person with a weird sense of humor. i spend my non-mom time cooking, baking, planting, sprouting, experimenting, reading, writing, drawing, plotting, obsessing, and hiding. as a mom i am about as unconventional as i can get. i unschool my kids & give them a lot of freedom to be who they are. this does not help my popularity. but my kids are super cool. i love my kids.
