After the war Mike had to cope with losing his legs and one arm. It was almost too much to bear. That was, until learning to jump.
Mike could jump wherever he wished, and into whoever.
He jumped into an alternate reality, and was trained by Yoda.
Mike flew to the outer reaches of space, seeing things no other human had seen.
When he grew weary of earth, he left it behind, and worked NASA missions.
“How are you coping?” Mike’s counselor asked.
Mike was planning a trip. He was jumping into an Artemis astronaut.
“Everyday’s an adventure,” Mike laughed.

Parting is such sweet and salty sorrow...
Dear Wife— At first, I hesitated to go forward with this resolution. But after your recent late-night binges scarfing down bags of chicharrónes—those pork rinds you dip in butter and the god-awful crunch they make, I knew I could no longer reach you.

Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?
