Thomas’ school offered Jane pills for her son’s ‘hyperactivity.’ Choosing contrary, Jane toiled with the boy. Neglecting her career, to teach him food, love, God, and people nature. One day, Jane informed her son that her Mothers’ cousin died. The ululating child’s recoil: “Why would a woman die? Why do we have to die?...I don’t want to die!” Thomas has been asking questions (and saying things he probably shouldn’t) as long as he can remember. “And just in case there was any wonder; usually it is not ‘okay’ to be yourself, do it anyway.” That is what I would say to Destiny (with a smile).
