Too often the wisdom of children is overlooked. It's so nice she had someone who would listen and take her seriously. My previous doctor, who was my doctor for 42 years and I loved him dearly, would never take me seriously when I said there was an issue with my heart. It's funny how my first reaction to the specialist was relief that I would be looked after and vindication that voiced itself in my head as "Told ya so!" And, yes, we have the LOOK but also the VOICE, both able to move mountains 😁
I liked the story. We tried that with my middle son, but they made his bones become a little bit deformed, so we had to stop. I don’t know if the doctor waited to long to try it on him, or if he was just the size he was meant to be, so it didn’t work. Luckily, the abnormalities are just in his elbows. Still, it causes him problems that only surgery could fix.
I love this description: "she continued to feel lost in a forest of adult legs."
Thank you!

Glad you received vindication! Also, yes! The voice!
To think of the strength and intelligence of beautiful Jilli. A modern fairytale story, so beautifully told.
Thank you, Connie!
Love what you did with "tower, forest, and loyal"... what a beautiful world you created with a very happy ending, Dascha!
Thank you so much, Jenise.
This is a beautiful story.
Thank you, Bill.

Hugs!! Sounds like your son has the best parents... without using "The Look". 😌
Sorry your son went through that. Unfortunately, it's not an answer to all growth issues. It's great when it works, though.
