Five, vibrant, and full of life. Kindergarten drop-off, rush to rounds. Brief midday juggle to attend the holiday recital. She sees me, beaming. Back to the hospital for a goals-of-care discussion. Evening dash to pick her up from karate.
“Mommy, work at my school instead so we can always be together.”
Maybe one day, my love.
