My supervisor immediately stood.
“Go, Rachel. I’ll take care of your patients.”
I drove home with one thought repeating in my mind.
Please let my boys be alright.
But when I pulled into the driveway, I saw something I hadn’t expected.
Officer Benny was standing outside my house.
In his arms was my three-year-old son, Andrew, fast asleep.
His little red rain boots were on the wrong feet.
One hand still held a half-eaten cracker.
I rushed toward them.
