In Leave It to Beaver to find the “ideal” family like June and Wards, a family with two parents. They show you another family called the Mondello, a family with two parents but, it always seems like the Mr. is out of town, making it seem like a single parent home.

I was unable to describe to Mary that her father will no longer into the room and pick her up or even tell her stories at bedtime. I also urged her brother, Edward Jr. to not try to mention it to her, but support and take care of her as best as he can. Mary was growing up and meanwhile this whole time I was telling her stories of her father and everything that happened between him and me inclusive the part with Bertha and how she burned the house down.

Every time I see the first star in the sky, I stop to say that silly little rhyme we were taught as children; “Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, wish I may, wish I might, make my wish come true tonight.” Each time my car goes over the train track; I pick my feet up, squint my eyes, and make a wish. At 11:11 every day, morning and evening, I cross my fingers, scrunch my nose, and wish as hard as I can. Even though I do all of this, I know my wishes aren’t going to come true.
