This is heartbreaking and healing all at once. The structure is so original and engaging. I simply couldn't get enough. I love the portrait you paint of your family. And how you create space for the truth of your imperfect emotions.
Thanks! There was so much going on in this one brief moment, it was a challenge to figure out how to tell it and give all its parts their due - I’m glad you liked it!
Gosh that sounds like it would have been very intense at the time! I really enjoyed reading this, and like how it can give people a real insight into all the “what if’s” that parents of kids with additional needs have to think about and often don’t have to think about if til a real life situation occurs. I’m glad it was all manageable and no urgent care trips were required!
Thank you!! We’ve been in the middle of a lot of controversy over here in my state, trying to explain to lawmakers what life is really like for our families (& why home-based services are so critical)—so it’s made me realize even more that these stories are important to tell. I’m glad it had a happy & somewhat silly ending, but yeah, it was intense in the moment!

Great story Robin.
I really like the way you structured it. It was creative and suited your writing voice.
Also, “fix your hair” after you feel down the stairs is a very funny response, your son’s great! :)
Thanks, Michael!! It was a fun challenge to figure out how to tell this story - I’m glad you liked it 😊
It was very good :)
I LOVE this story!!
