“So, what do you think?”
Mom asked, turning to look at Dad. We were in the car, on the way home.
Dad allowed his hands to grip the steering wheel momentarily. He inhaled deeply, before relaxing his hold, and letting out a long breath.

Mom smiled happily, “Yeah, me too.”
We drove on in silence.
Dad and Mom were both deep in our own thoughts. So much needed to be said. Yet, the sound of silence was strangely comforting to us at that moment.

Justine and You were playing with your Pokemon characters. Mom has always wondered how the both of You could remember all the 450 over comic-characters by individual names.
You were so engrossed in your Pokemon world, that Mom had to clap her hands to get your attention.
Sinking down to your bed, Mom said,
“Daniel, Mom has good news. You know the headaches that You’ve been getting... Well, it turns out that there is some fluid in your head...”
A water baby since birth ...
