My father's name was Michael Maynard. U.S. Marine Corps, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines. September 14th, 2007. Iraq. Baghdad. Two mortar rounds that day. My mom said the guy who showed up at our door stood there holding his cover for a long time before he said anything. She already knew. I was eleven years old. I ended up joining too. Maybe I wanted to be close to him. Maybe I thought I'd be luckier than him. I came back alive. Just covered in burns. My mom never once acted like I was hard to look at. Even when I was at my worst, she just said, "It's okay. Mom's here."
Now she's going through chemo. Last week she threw up all day. When she finally fell asleep, she was still holding my hand. I sat by her bed and thought about a lot of things. Thought about how my father never saw me in uniform. Never knew I could do crafts. Make patriotic garden crafts that actually look good. And then I thought — he didn't make it home. But my mom is still here. So I go to my garage every day. Make patriotic garden crafts . One after another. Not for the money. It's because my father wasn't there to take care of her to the end.
I still can.
I'm not too late.
