“It was always a strange thing, coming home. Coming home meant that you had, at one point, left it and, in doing so, irreversibly changed.

“A few days later, I yelled at him for losing his new lunch box, and he turned to me and said, Are you sure you’re my mother? Sometimes you don’t seem like a good enough person. He was just a kid, so I let it go. And now, years later, I probably only think of it, I don’t know, once or twice a day.”
― Jenny Offill, Weather
