Sending My Special Needs Child Back To School After Lockdown

Distance learning wasn’t made for children like my boy and, even when he was on task, he wasn’t actually taking in new information.

Brawling With My Children

This kid is made of steel. He’s like a Batman villain.

Say their names and I see a snapshot from long ago. Their ages far exceed my my memories.

You don’t know what’s missing because you don’t even realize a piece should be there.

It’s times like this when I’m forced to bare witness to the barest of witnesses.

Ironically, it feels selfish…when it’s the most selfless thing you can do.

Defending the home team isn’t just about the people who live in your actual home. It’s about the people who live in your heart.

Hell hath no fury like an escaped Daddy Longlegs.

Ironically, it’s his attempts to get out of showing me what he can do that has shown me the most.

This wasn’t a debate or disagreement. This was performance art.
