Twenty years ago, one of my community college students wrote an essay about a day so busy that she forgot to pick up her seven-year-old daughter at school.
“Mommy, I don’t love you.” My two-year-old stands in the bathtub, smudging foam onto her belly.
They brush past me and my child in his wheelchair. Hurrying, scurrying. I try not to recoil.
I was anxious and bumbling. Compulsively feeling his forehead for fever. Joining him in crying jags.
