Today, I took Eamon and Myles along with me to Maeve's dance class. They usually spend that time with MiMi. However, today they were with me. A first for Eamon. I was excited to introduce him to the other dance moms while we waited. But, I was surprised by their reaction. No one came over to meet my boy, they all awkwardly carried on with the usual banter. Just quick peeks at him.
When the girls came out, Maeve was thrilled to show off her little brother. The kids were just as excited, and curious. What are all those wires for? Do they hurt? Why does he need extra air? What's wrong with him? Can I touch him? I found myself so at ease talking with these young friends about Eamon. It seemed natural that there would be questions. And I was delighted to share with them our new brand of normal.
Kids are great for getting to the heart of the matter. So I thought it might be helpful to open the floor for questions. I want people to talk to, touch, and enjoy Eamon. Fear paralyzes, Truth brings freedom. So ask away...
