To the mom who expressed regret over her child’s antics in the store: please don’t. There’s no need to apologize for your kids, especially when they are joyful and thriving. If they’re laughing and playing, who cares if they’re being a bit loud? They’re children, and they should relish every moment of their youth just like any typical toddler would.
Just a few months ago, I was in your shoes. My lively and spirited 2-year-old would dash through the aisles, full of laughter and mischief, playing peekaboo with passersby. That was us.
After my son was diagnosed with leukemia, I felt an overwhelming urge to confront you. I wanted to shake you and say that I wished my only worry was how my son’s giggles might disturb someone. I longed to tell you that I would give anything to see my child running freely down the toy aisle at Target, picking out a surprise to mark day 29 of his treatment.
I wanted to reassure you that it’s completely fine if your child accidentally knocks a toy off the shelf. I yearn for those simple moments, to hear my son’s laughter in a store. After spending an entire month watching him in a hospital bed, I now understand the saying “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone” all too well.
I look forward to the day when my sweet boy can return to his normal life, enjoying trips to the toy aisle without a care in the world. A simple outing to Target will never be taken for granted again.
