Four years later.
"Papa,'' Colm runs over to me. his eyes are blotched and red. My mommy instincts kick in immediately. I don't know what happened but I am ready to murder someone.
Colm and Colin are six already. I can't believe it has been six years already.
I see the blood on his shirt and I start to worry even though I know that he will heal. They are still young and growing, so healing isn't as fast as it is with me. it is different with them and I have come to learn that. I already know that whatever it is that happened must have been serious.
Colm rarely cries.
If this was colin, I wouldn't be too worried because he is an emotional soul and that is the only way he can express himself.
