A Parent Discusses the Near-Deaths of Her Daughters

This article isn’t “hard science,” but it gets to the heart of how we think, feel, and react to the things that matter to us. I’ve been lucky, in that I haven’t had to cope with anything close to the death, or near death, of one of my children, yet I still worry about it. In fact, I worry about it far more than I ever would have predicted prior to having children. I suppose the worrying goes with the territory of being a parent. In any event, I found this article to be a really interesting read, very compelling.
