“All these years later it’s like the blanket is still imbibed with her sorrow. Like an umbilical cord, it still connects me to her, melds each of my days to the day of my entrance into the world and to my severance from her.
Its edges are frayed and with each new day of my life, I think I see a run further unraveling the fibers, taking me further away from that first and last cuddle. I fear that one day it’ll unravel too far, it’ll make my bond with her so threadbare, it’ll waste away and vanish altogether. And I will forget. I will forget my mother; I will forget that I was ever born. I will forget everything.”
