I’ve always been fascinated by the way people meet
How did you get married
I’d ask
I’d replay the videos over and over again as a child
Like as if it were my first time seeing my mother and father getting married
On a VCR
I would smile and tell my mother she was beautiful then and she looks the same now
My heart would be filled with excitement
Even as a child
My childhood was just what it needed to be
But without my dad I didn’t know life would only get harder
But no matter what mommy and daddy were mine
And I loved them
They were adults
Trapped in their own trauma
