most parents earmark their lives and those of their children with memorable events:
first small steps first words the feel of tiny arms embracing the mama’s neck in a first hug
the first teenage angst filled i hate you then
the inevitable, 21st century first:
with all due respect, fuck you, mom
and now i can die
in peace
