  • In Mason's Time
    In Mason’s Time 1 Four days after my uncle was born, he was buried. A nurse said he died of cardiac arrest, a defect in his heart. The news of my uncle’s death spread in the town and my grandparents quickly became known as the couple with the dead kid. Some said that he was born a monster, a freak, and that’s why he died. When Grandma Rosie was discharged, she and my Grandpa Kenny buried my uncle in the middle of the night. Alone together, they lowered my uncle’s small grave eight feet deep in their backyard. The private service was my grandparent’s best kept secret for decade, an easy one to keep because the truth was—no one wanted to talk about a dead baby. It took a decade Rosie and Kenny to feel confident enough to adopt my Dad, confident that a child could be in their care. It took decades more for Rosie say my uncle’s name again, Mason. A slip during a Thanksgiving dinner, a subtle hint for what was to come. For the past five years Rosie has confused me for Mason. It’s a role I’ve accepted, accepted enough that in our family I don’t answer to “Helena,” I answer to “Mason.” When I’m sweaty it’s not because of the shitty nursing home A/C, it’s because I got home from rough day at Little League practice. Today I tried fixing Rosie’s old clock (brought over as a comfort item). She remarked that Kenny taught me well.
