Jack, age nineteen.
Cooper, age twelve.
Amos, age ten.

We do remember, through our screens, feeling a connection that we rarely experience in everyday life. From late night texts to morning phone calls, we began to share the vulnerable, often messy side of building a family. How, at one time or another, we have each experienced the piercing loneliness that accompanies life alongside a diagnosed child.”
