Only One

“I sleep with this pillow under me or near me every night. My Aunt Lovie hand made several of them for me throughout the course of my life. At first she made them so that I’d have something to cuddle during my worst spells of stomach cramping; but over the years the pillows began to represent the love and closeness between us that bridged the hundreds of miles separating us. This one is my favorite as it’s the last one she made for me before she left the beautiful body I long to hold as tightly as I hold my “baby pillow”.”

“Cello is the voice I wish I had. I spend time with it every day, hoping to get at least a little bit better, spending time sitting with my dreams and the reality of my imperfection.”
