Needing to Lose Weight

What if there’s an accident, and I lose my arms and can’t hug My kids anymore? What if, at any second, the phone rings and brings a call that stops the world and drops a person to their knees.”
Kids
“My kids. Who needs sleep anyway? It used to be my insomnia, but they managed to make me so dead on my feet that I’d say having kids is like a cure for insomnia cause you’re not even running on steam anymore. It’s all smokes and mirrors effect; you’re barely even alive.”
