True story. It happened on the lift at Gore Mountain. My son fell off. I went after him. The attendant shook his head in wonder. "The mothers always jump..." And that’s why me and my son have a private hashtag #TMAJ

There was a particularly hard moment yesterday at work (I work at a children's hospital) and coming home to that line... the number of ways mothers' jump, I see it all day every day. Beyond that chapter and line ... "she must've been tearing the place up." I'm so hurt but better for it
I want the same private hashtag with my son... is it copywritten ;)

Sam wrote: "The number of ways the mothers jump..."RIGHT?? Rest in peace, my ass. Not even death stops you from being a mother and wanting to jump after your boy. She was tearing the place apart. (Shiver) ngl I even freaked myself out with that whole scene.

As I read, I wondered about your headspace as you wrote that scene. The place you had to go and stay to write that moment. Bet it was hell

Like seriously, I have no problem acknowledging my greatest success is behind me. No matter what else happens, I wrote A Charm of Finches and I’m fine if I never top it.
