I told Anthony he’s my best friend.
He looked at me and said, “No.”
Not in a mean way. Just matter-of-fact.
He doesn’t get it yet.
But I meant it.
I’m his parent first, always.
But he’s the one I spend the most time with. The one I share jokes with. The one I carry snacks for.
The one who still holds my hand sometimes.
He’ll understand one day.
For now, I’ll keep showing up like I already know it’s true.
