A beautiful, heartbreaking piece. Such an evocative and relatable rendering of early parenting and how our histories shape us.

I hope to read future essay of yours, to learn more about your son. Thank you for this poignant read.

The writing here does what the best memoir does: it stays close to the particular and arrives somewhere universal without ever announcing the arrival. Yes I agree, a beautiful, heartbreaking piece. 🙏
