They were crying in their sleep. I held them and watched the launch replay over their shoulder.

Dad made the special pancakes. That means something is different today. He tried the pancake dance, but he did it wrong. Only Mom does it right.

The countdown doesn't start at the launch pad. It starts the morning I pack my bag, and Starchild asks, 'Are you going to work?' And I say yes. Because I don't know how to say 'I'm going somewhere you can't follow.'

I made pancakes. The special ones. She used to do the pancake dance. I tried it. I pulled something. It's my knee. It's always my knee.

Some days I feel like I'm holding this whole house together with grocery lists and sticky notes, and I wonder if that's enough.

If I'm enough.

I got in trouble for stacking furniture in front of Dad's door. I had to write 'I will not stack furniture in front of Dad's door on school days' fourteen times.

But on the back I wrote 'It worked, though.'

I recorded myself reading bedtime stories. Seven of them. One for each night I'd be gone.

I thought it was a good idea until I heard my own voice saying, 'Goodnight, I love you,' into a microphone in an empty room.
