My husband files for divorce, and my 6-year old son asks the judge: ‘May I show you something that Mom doesn’t know about, Your Honor?’ The judge nodded. When the video started, the entire courtroom froze in silence.
It contained a drawing of the scarf they had knitted and a brief message that did not mention the divorce.
He chose to put it in his desk drawer.
I did not make him display it or throw it away.
When the hearing ended, Julian approached within earshot of our attorneys.
“I know you don’t believe me,” he said, “but I’m trying.”
“I hope you keep trying,” I answered.
“For Noah.”
He looked as though he wanted to say more.
