There is a grief no one prepares you for.
Watching your baby slowly lose her words.
Angela had words as a baby.
And I watched them fade.
Then she started disconnecting.
The meltdowns came.
The behaviours of concern followed.
It felt like I was losing pieces of her while she was still right in front of me.
But Iβve also watched her fight her way back.
Iβve watched her slowly regain her voice.
Iβve seen the connection return in new ways.
Regression is painful.
But growth after regression?
That is powerful.
