This story takes place during the events of the Second Time Around. My great grandmother passed away and though it wasn’t unexpected, it still hit hard. What made it more difficult was the fact that my autistic child was having difficulty understanding the concept of death. The finality of it was beyond him and the range of emotions that the people in his life and he himself were experiencing were new and confusing.

We wrote this story together based upon our experience dealing with the passing of our loved one and my son’s unique perspective on the events surrounding that time in our lives.
