It is a terrible thing to be very young and be facing a family disaster that you barely understand and have no ability to actually help. But this is where I found myself when I was 6 years old and my 4 year old sister was dying of a double bacterial infection that the doctors were failing to defeat. It’s also a tale of how funny misunderstandings can happen when your mind has only 6 years of experience with how things work.
