“With Link as our guide and a spotted black-and-white Palomino named Dinky to carry us, my daughter and I are waiting out the final dark winter months of seclusion with more joy than either of us thought possible.”
I couldn’t plan for what our life with her would be like— outcomes ranged from round-the-clock medical care to a relatively simple brain shunt to relieve the fluid to ... possibly nothing. I wondered if I’d ever get to share my love for the Zelda franchise, my very favorite games, with my kid. Would she be able to hold a controller, or develop the logic required to work through a challenging puzzle? I vowed to find a way.
She was born eager to run and dance and wrestle, despite a slight motor delay in her legs that gives her a bit of a wobble, and she was just getting the hang of her body 16 months in when the physical limitations of my second pregnancy shut the fun down. This time around the baby didn’t have a scary diagnosis but the fault in my ligaments leveled up, forcing me into a wheelchair, which I used mostly to get out of bed or to scoot around while playing with my girl.
with her bestie, I mentioned casually that if she wanted to ride a horse of her own, she ought to tryCue opening credits. In a way, my pregnancies prepared me for pandemic life. They taught me to shift my expectations, to pivot inward to the small joys I could find right here, inmoment, in my own little 5'4" space. I am restrained yet again, six years after my first pregnancy, this time to my home as we wait out the coronavirus. Except now I have two very small, very loud companions bound up with me. I don’t have the same escape outlet I relied on before, it’s true, but I’ve found something better.
