Concerns And Considerations
Managing Jake’s runny nose while juggling errands was no easy task. Between pharmacy trips and grocery runs, I often wondered if anyone even noticed the constant balancing act I performed. Meanwhile, they all seemed to breeze through their busy week without a second thought. “You good, Nana?” Emma asked, squeezing my hand gently—her simple, sincere words a rare and comforting acknowledgment amid the steady hum of adult routines. That small moment was a balm to my weary spirit, even if it felt fleeting.

I braced myself for a question about Jake’s cough or Emma’s ballet, but none came. Instead, there were hurried hugs and another quick “Thanks, Mom!” before she disappeared into their evening routine. It felt as if I was nothing more than a fleeting shadow—there, useful, but easily overlooked amid their busy comings and goings.
