Good and Bad Are Incomplete Stories We Tell Ourselves
|
| Essayist and poet Heather Lanier challenges our assumptions about what makes a life "good" or "bad." After her daughter was born with a rare genetic condition that results in developmental delays, she learned over time that she could see Fiona’s differences as bad or she could let go of the idea that developmental disabilities are bad and could watch her daughter’s life as it unfolded, with openness and curiosity, and see it for what it is: beautiful, complicated, joyful, hard, basically just another expression of human experience. As she says, "My kid is human. That’s all. And that’s a lot." |
