The evening before my 4-year-old daughter, Hannah, and I went to Philadelphia, she carefully chose her favorite stuffed animal, coloring books and bathing suit. I carefully chose the right mixture of medications to ensure I’d get enough pain relief to sleep, but not so much that I’d keep sleeping if she needed me in the middle of the night.
I’d wanted to travel with Hannah before. “Y’all should come visit!” one of my aunts had urged me just a few months earlier.
I wanted so badly to say yes, but we lived in Washington, D.C., and she was in rural Florida. Decades of chronic pain in my right wrist, shoulders and neck had damaged my muscles and joints to the point where I couldn’t handle the physical strain of carrying our bags, hurrying Hannah through the Atlanta airport and helping her into her seat.
