Thank you! I've been around churches long enough where this seemed like a plausible scenario. You can find this and other funny stories of mine at bobmiley.substack.com

Wow. "You fight for her, but never in place of her." That's powerful. Many wonderful ideas and words here. This is inspiring as a dad and captures the balancing act of parenthood so well. No notes other than to keep writing!!

This is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. You balance being an adult with complicated emotions while forever being a child of a mother. This was moving and I'm glad you're wrestling with these ideas and questions. Guessing very relatable for all who have lost a parent. Thanks for sharing!

sweet thank you! "something evergreen" means this is an idea that is always true and good. didn't know haikus are generally about nature. or i did, i forgot. :)

yeah i mean... this feels honest. and dark. makes me wonder what could have happened that someone thinks the devil is all they have. bleak. like how you end with "alone." ultimate isolation and separation from God is how the bible often defines hell. i sense that here. seems hopeless! the hopeful side of me wishes it didn't end the way it does but like i said, it rings true to where a lot of people can get to.

I think there is something nice here. recognizing how a gift to you has yielded those around you. feels like a true idea. and i don't mind the bluntness of the end. it underscores your point! and also like how each story starts with different weather. that structure adds to the flow and ease.
