Oh, boy. This brings it all back. I was a mutual aid driver, too, but with 4 and 5-year-olds who tested my very limited Spanish skills. Too old to be a soldier. More like a stand in abuelita who always remembered to bring snacks. ❤️
Oh, Teri. This pieces touched my heart. I suppose as the mom of two (now grown) boys, the gross fascination was achingly familiar yet so strikingly different, which pisses me off. Thank you for giving a shit. Thank you for sharing these stories and showing a beautiful slice of humanity still exists. Sending all the things ✨🫶🏻🧘🏻♀️
Thank you Nancy. That is precisely what I hope happens. The stories we hear in the news and social media tell the facts and devastation of the broad strokes of what happened. I want to give the interior, emotional, and in-the-moment stories so that readers can feel what it was like to be here and in it. Both the good and the bad.
Thank you.

I was right there in the car with the boys, the arm farts and gross tales. Your writing is so present it draws the reader right in.
