As a mom with a kid who looks to be close in age with this boy, I can’t imagine not being able to speak with my child. Our conversations are often the best part of my day. My heart simultaneously swells and breaks for this mama.

Yeah. I have two boys, aged 8 and 6 and we jabber and talk constantly with each other, discussing random stupid stuff, trying to make each other or my wife laugh and so on. Just hearing both of them yell "Hugs!" and see them running at me, arms wide, makes my day.
