Merryn's arm

From 10/12/2016: We had the day off from school today for Yom Kippur. Merryn broke her arm after falling while on a walk with her friends at Mascia. I picked her up and spent the whole day at the emergency room. 

It's sometimes hard for me on a day like that not to hear JJ's voice in my head, saying, as he actually did two years ago when he felt he shouldn't have to take a day off to stay at home with a kid with the flu, "I have never seen a mother who cares so little for her sick child." And feel that bitterness and sadness welling up.
