Armistice

Purple Day is tomorrow. Epilepsy awareness. Jacob was weaned from his anti-seizure medication about four months ago and has been seizure-free for over a year. Thank you God. Thank you Dr. Brown. Thank you Jay-juh.

I barely remember Jacob before the age of six months. If everything is as it should be, perhaps I was not meant to remember. My un-awareness of epilepsy would not have served me well. My war chest needed to be filled with research and specialists, not squishy, fuzzy thoughts.
