Yesterday, I was called to the school. The teacher placed a drawing by my son in front of me.
It depicted our home… but without me.
Just him and his father.
My heart sank. I asked, “Why?”
The teacher replied quietly, “Because he said, ‘Mom is always busy and never home.’”
I left the office in tears.

I was always in a hurry: work, errands, phone calls.
When the teacher invited me to the school, I thought it would be about his progress.
But she put a drawing in front of me.
It showed my husband and son hugging in front of our house. I wasn’t there.
The teacher explained, “He said that his mom is rarely around.”
I held the drawing to my chest and realized for the first time that sometimes a child’s most frightening words are silent — conveyed through a drawing.
