Today’s episode is about the wandering, disappearing humans in our lives.

Most parents worry their child will get lost.

Some special needs parents live with the fear that their child will leave a safe place.

There is a kind of fear that changes the way you sleep.

The kind where you don’t just lock the door — you check it three times.

You install alarms. You know the sound of footsteps. You can’t fully relax in a hotel room, at a campsite, in a grocery store, or even in your own backyard.

Because some kids wander.

Some kids bolt.

Some kids are runners.

And if you know, you know.
