Why Midnight

There's something about midnight that makes it the perfect time for thinking deep thoughts.  As the parent of a child with a chronic illness and disabilities, I find myself awake in the wee hours of many nights, attempting to catch up on all that remains undone or just to catch a few moments of silence in the otherwise chaotic hours of the day.  There's something about midnight that allows us to say things we might not otherwise, to reveal our thoughts and feelings, certain that the secret moments between one day and the next will somehow protect us.  And so this blog is a place for me to say the things I might not otherwise, to speak my mind, share my fears, express my joys and sorrows.  Perhaps no one else but me will care what dreams, wishes and secrets float through my mind in the darkness, but perhaps there's a few like me, who find themselves alone in the dark, wondering how they ended up in this particular life.
