The shape of it
Morning, afternoon, and the walk before dinner.
Two of those lines do more work than the rest
The afternoon, and the night.
At 3:15 the kids get home from school and do homework at the kitchen table. They are our caregivers’ children, and they are here because nobody should have to choose between their own child and somebody else’s parent.
Overnight, somebody is awake. Every night, all night, in the house. Not on call, not down the corridor — awake, in the house.
Why we do it that wayCome and look
The best way to understand a house is to walk into one.
Call to schedule a visit — ask to come at 3:15 if you want to see the part that surprises people.
