I really liked this piece and I understand what Sarah is going through. When I was her age I also wanted to know why I had to be different and couldn’t look like everyone else. I wondered why I couldn’t go on certain field trips or had to get shuttled to the hospital more often than not.

I’m so sorry she has to go through this and (at the risk of sounding bold or too much) if she (or you) ever need someone to vent to, I’m always ready to listen. I may not know exactly what she’s going through but I’m sure her feelings were the same as mine way back when.

Thanks Melissa. That is so kind of you! It hurts my heart to know you experienced this kind of suffering. I'm grateful you have grown in some way and are willing to accompany others who are now going through it.

I think this is my favorite thing I’ve read of yours. I feel like I was in the room. It is so hard to navigate the challenges of kids and family and their unique struggles when you are neck deep in your own. Thank you for your vulnerability in this piece.
