“Because the minute I say it out loud, it becomes real, and I’m not ready for it to be real,” he said.
I sat there staring at my father. The man to whom I had just said, “Your choice, your responsibility,” was quietly preparing his children for this Little upbringing without him.
I called my brothers that night. Nobody sleeps.
The next morning, I walked into his house and told him I would be doing every shift. He looked at me and said, “You don’t have to.” I said, “Which is exactly why I do it.”
If you’ve been through something like this, where you almost got it completely wrong before you even understood what was really going on, I’d love to hear how you handled it.
