It’s okay to feel these things

Day 2,357. Today was supposed to be the day. The child would be well enough for school. Fever free for more than 24 hrs. Symptoms better. But the 4am coughing fit followed by gagging… yah. No go. I woke up late for an appointment I had downtown in an hour. My head was pounding. I’d […]
