Last weekend, Lily and I met Walter and Maggie at a park. Maggie ran circles around Lily, who squealed and shouted, “Go, Maggie!” like she was cheering for a superhero.

And in that moment, surrounded by laughter and sunlight and the dog that changed everything, I felt something I hadn’t in a long time.

Safe.
