I remember me 19 years old. 7 months pregnant. I had a prenatal appointment. The plan was to drop Lelibug off with my sister and then go to the doctor. I had so much running through my mind. I was nervous. I needed to be home by a specific time. I parked my car, sat there in the silence a few minutes, and then I got out to go into my appointment and Leli said "bye mommy". So nonchalantly. She didn't understand why I cried so much after pulled her out with shaking hands. Had she been asleep...she'd have never survived. It takes just minutes for a small child to die in a car in the hot sun. I got in a habit of obsessively checking after that. I hate thinking about any of this stuff. I hate thinking how fragile our children's lives can be. I hate thinking about how just a few seconds of inattentiveness could cost me everything. And even worse when I have to allow someone else to watch my kids. These stories are so fucking depressing.
