“My mommy is not afraid of anything. Not of the dark, or dragons or even monsters.” 
I felt tears in my nose and had to bite my cheek when I heard (from my mother) that he said this. Because Mommy is oh-so-very scared of oh-so-many things. Sometimes I worry that he senses my fear, and that it hurts him. But I guess he doesn’t, and he isn’t; that I’m getting this right, mostly, and that my boy feels safe, which is what matters above all.
