Castles in the air
2023-ongoing
A house with a white picket fence, kids, and a pet. A dream of being an average family vanished away. Years ago. The result was that I became a single mother of a three-year-old boy living in a small apartment, no pets, no white picket fence.
Over the years, I got used to the weekly goodbyes. But I never got used to the emptiness that is left behind.
A bleeding hole in my heart and a ghost in the house is all that remains.
Not having to take care of my flesh and blood, not being a pro-active mother. How do I deal with this feeling? What happens in this raw emptiness?
