Tareis is someone in a small circle of people I talk things through with, scattered and known mostly through written words across distance. Lately I've been carrying something hard: that change and grief can both be true at once. I'm raising my son, Silas, and there are days I want so badly to hand him solid certainty - about the world, about how things work, about what I know - and I can't, not honestly. Some days that feels like loss. Some days it feels like simply the shape of being his parent. Both at once.
