She’d been counting down the days until her fifth birthday party, making paper chains to mark each passing morning. Every night before bed, she’d ask me, “How many more sleeps until my special day, Mommy?” The morning of her party, I woke up at six to start decorating our small backyard. Streamers in lavender and…
My aunt was laughing so hard she could barely stand. All the other kids at the party started laughing, too. I didn’t cry or shout. I just smiled calmly, took my daughter home, and began to plan my response. They had no idea what I was about to do. I still remember the exact shade…

With those pills, I fell into such a deep sleep that in the morning I barely understood what was happening around me. My wife always made sure I took my dose, and my brother — who had been living with us since his own wife passed away — kept repeating that I needed “deep, proper…
