So I did. I stayed in their guest bedroom, reeling hormonally. The protocol required 2-4 self-administered injections per day, and I was terrified of needles. So they gave me my shots — all of them. They brought me along to jam sessions & dinners so I wouldn’t miss my timed doses
They’ve started two separate entrepreneurial endeavors in entertainment tech and biotech, both of which are early-stage but garnering considerable interest in their niches. And they have two little girls now, who they absolutely dote on. 
They have help, but they’ve still restructured their careers and projects around being present parents. They love them *so much.* They want to respect and foster whatever interests and talents they might manifest. They’re thrilled with their burgeoning personalities & differences
A few weeks ago, I visited them to get some much needed baby-time. As I was heading out, I mentioned that I was feeling less stressed about finding a way to have a family. I just have a sense that it’s going to work out, if I keep following this crazy thing I love. And she said:
“If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need somewhere to stay — and you have your baby, and you need a place for both of you — we’ll always have a place for you here. For however long. I just want you to know that.”
(I totally teared up writing this. What did I do to have people like this in my life?)
I throw this onto a thread about accountability in education because I think we have profoundly fucked up in the way we think about this. The goal should be to create people like these. Smart, curious, passionate, loving, generous, how-can-I-possibly-deserve-you human beings
Is that what we’re doing? Does anyone think that’s what we’re doing?
How do we do that? *Can* we do that? I mean, I don’t know, but I just can’t imagine any time spent trying to answer those questions is wasted time Right? /end
