Synopsis:
If I tell you right up front, right in the beginning that I lost him, it
will be easier for you to bear. You will know it’s coming, and it
will hurt. But you’ll be able to
prepare.
Someone
found him in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a towel, a few hours
old and close to death. They called him Baby Moses when they shared his story
on the ten o’clock news – the little baby left in a basket at a dingy
Laundromat, born to a crack addict and expected to have all sorts of problems.
I imagined the crack baby, Moses, having a giant crack that ran down his body,
like he’d been broken at birth. I knew that wasn’t
what the term meant, but the image stuck in my mind. Maybe the fact that he was
broken drew me to him from the start.
It
all happened before I was born, and by the time I met Moses and my mom told me
all about him, the story was old news and nobody wanted anything to do with
him. People love babies, even sick babies. Even crack babies. But babies grow
up to be kids, and kids grow up to be teenagers. Nobody wants a messed up
teenager.
And
Moses was messed up. Moses was a law unto himself. But he was also strange and
exotic and beautiful. To be with him would change my life in ways I could never
have imagined. Maybe I should have stayed away. Maybe I should have listened.
My mother warned me. Even Moses warned me. But I didn’t stay away.
And
so begins a story of pain and promise, of heartache and healing, of life and
death. A story of before and after, of new beginnings and never-endings. But
most of all...a love story.
