Father's Day



My father, about three years old. As good and as innocent as every other baby. I wish I could scoop him out of this photo and place him in a home where he wouldn't have to witness his mother being beaten. Where bad things wouldn't happen to him. Where he wouldn't turn to alcohol to blot out his pain. What a hard life he's had, and continues to have.

I breathe in his sorrow. 
I breathe out compassion.

    I love this. My mom had a terrible childhood. I wish we could save them too.
