When I held my new-born nephew for the first time, I had a hickey on my neck. My nephew wasn’t even 24 hours old yet. The hickey was from a girl that wasn’t in this story. When I held my new-born nephew that first time, here’s the question I wanted to ask him. Here’s the question I wanted to ask him right then and there, but never did ask him. Here’s the question I wanted to ask him, but never did and I always regretted I hadn’t asked him right then and there. I wanted to ask my new-born nephew this question: “Do you ever wish you could just make it all stop? Do you ever wish you could just make it all stop, if only for a few moments, make everything all stop, so you could at least try to understand?”
