Blaster Caster
It was maybe a week after my father died that I brought the weapon home — for him. And never, even while I piloted the car to a hunting area, did it cease talking. “Drive better, son,” it barked, as I launched the car into motion. “Are you trying to get us killed, before we’ve even made it out of Ann Arbor?”

Snow Day Believer
The snow fell insistently, covering roads and driveways and trees. Heavy snowfall brings a quiet you can hear and it’s comforting and overwhelming all at the same time. I woke at five-thirty a.m. to the chirp of my cell phone bearing the news: Snow day. Annie and Christopher counted on staying home from school and stayed up late to check the 11 o’clock news to confirm it. It wasn’t official even then, but they were now sleeping the sound slumber of a child’s intuition, hibernating under their quilts. Not a peep from either of them.

Love maybe he was tired and should have rested long ago
My father is gone, my father's tenacious life clock, fixed at 10:30 a.m. on April 6, 2022. Father's Love My father went away, peacefully, his eyes closed tightly, without the slightest expression of pain. The night before, my father's condition worsened and the pain became more severe after the cancer spread for more than 10 days in a row. My father, who had always been strong, suffered unbearable pain and moaned throughout the night. At midnight, a large pool of fluid gushed out of his mouth, and then his whole body curled up on the bed in a limp state. In the second half of the night, he stopped moaning and moving, his body and mind were extremely tired and seemed to be wandering on the border between the yin and the yang ......

How many anxious paths my mother has traveled
It occurred to me that I had given my mother a hard time when I always ran to the ground alone. Mother's footprints. She is not the kind of mother who just loves her son but does not understand him. She knew that I was upset, that I should not be prevented from going out, and that I would be worse off if I stayed at home, but she was worried about what I would think about all day in that deserted garden alone. I was so bad-tempered that I often left home in a frenzy and came back from the garden without saying anything like I was possessed. My mother knew that there were some things that she should not ask, so she hesitated to ask, but finally did not dare to ask, because she did not have the answer in her mind. She expected that I would not want her to go with me, so she never asked for this, she knew she had to give me some time alone, there had to be such a process. She just didn't know how long it would take, and what the end of the process would be. Every time I had to leave, she would wordlessly help me get ready, help me get into the wheelchair, and watch me turn out of the courtyard, and then what she would do after that, I never thought about back then.
