My heart just skipped a broken beat... I have just left a class of seven year olds, one of the boys, who is so very quiet and gentle of nature but wise beyond his years, has to wear calipers due to a genetic birth defect.
Oh. My. Gosh. That’s made me shiver. Genuinely. I have to change my little guy’s name and age. Eek. And I want to hug your Eliot and encourage him. Very spooked.
I will give him your hug on Monday, he will love the spookiness of it, his favorite reading material is mystery and suspense... so maybe leave the name. I may even translate it for him so he may read it himself...
You perfectly captured the poignant blend of childhood innocence and the bittersweet realities of life.
Thank you for reading. The notion of childhood innocence shattered struck me. It can be pretty seismic.

His name is Eliot....

I’m still feeling the after shock... what an uncanny coincidence!
I've literally never had that happen.

If you’re sure. Spooky is the word!
Absolutely sure!
