On my grandfather’s porch in Nashville, he squinted at my rideshare and asked, “Where’s the black SUV we gave you?”—and my mom answered for me, smiling like it was harmless: “Your sister needed it more.” Then my grandpa walked me into his cedar-scented living room, set a single key fob on the coffee table like a warning, and asked one question that made my mother’s face drain of color.

My daughter-in-law told my son: ‘Let your dad sleep in the garage if he’s going to act ancient.’ They laughed. Thought I wouldn’t hear. But they forgot who I used to be. By sunrise, three black SUVs were parked outside. My coffee was still warm when they panicked.

When my newborn ‘passed away’ at the hospital, my mother-in-law whispered, ‘God saved this world from your bloodline.’ My sister-in-law nodded. My husband turned his back on me. Then my 8-year-old son pointed to the nurse’s cart and said, ‘Should I give the doctor what grandma hid in my baby brother’s milk?’ Everyone stopped breathing.
