“Dad… My Back Hurts So Bad I Can’t Sleep. Mom Told Me Not to Tell You.” I Had Just Walked In From a Business Trip

Therefore Sarah hurt Lily.

No.

I had to own my part without stealing Sarah’s responsibility.

I had been absent more than I wanted to admit.

The job did not force every trip.

My ambition selected some.

My identity needed some.

I liked being the person colleagues relied on.
