The Pharisees Would have Loved the Bill of Rights...

It Takes a Village to Lose a Child

Outside a typical suburban high school in Ohio sits a concrete bench with my name carved in it, alongside the names of my brother Matthias and sister Regan.  The school engraved our names in memorial of the countless hours we spent sitting on that cold seat, waiting for our parents to remember to pick us up from school.  You haven't experienced calculus until you've tried to integrate trigonometric functions by the dim glow of parking lot security lights.

As it turns out, forgetting one's children is a family tradition.
