My Son Left Me Behind on Thanksgiving and Flew His Family to Hawaii—So Friday Morning, I Called Movers and Took Back Everything I Had Paid For

The boy who once hid my keys because he was afraid I’d leave.
The adult who now seemed more frightened of losing my household contributions than of losing me as a person.

“But staying isn’t the only way to love my family.”
Rebecca looked down.
Then ended the call.
I placed the phone beside Arthur’s photograph.
