Sometimes I ask my children what topic I should write about because near the end of a heavy day of writing my brain goes numb. Tonight when I asked my sixteen year old this question, his answer was ‘Twilight’. He loves that book but I have not read it myself so I cannot offer a review, but I like the other type of twilight as that means my favorite hours are coming.

 I am a night owl, and have been since the aforementioned child was a baby. His health and round the clock breathing treatments for his first 18 months of life, and sometimes it was just better to stay up and make sure he was safe. Sometimes when I see him celebrate another birthday, I cry. No, it is not just, because my baby is growing up, I cry because he almost never even celebrated his second birthday. While some of us take life for granted, his was almost cut short four times in his first two years of life.  Asthma is a bear to live with and at times, it was very hard to get this little one stabilized.
