LAX WAS craziness. Thousands of people rushed through departure, desperate to get to the gates of their awaiting flights, but I was praying to god that time stilled. I didn’t want time to pass. I didn’t want this day to arrive, and I didn’t want to be here. Today was the day that Savannah and Max were walking out of my life for god only knew how long.

The past week could only be described as living a horrendous nightmare. That phone call changed everything. I felt completely at a loss and utterly helpless when it came to Savannah, and I’d spent the past week watching as she became a shell of her former self. She’d withdrawn from everyone and everything. She had barely been functioning and had been moving through the days with a constant cloud hanging over her. Thank god for Max. Our son was the saving grace, the only one who’d had the ability to put a smile on her face, the only one who’s been able to make her face light up for a split second before her thoughts were hit in the face by reality. I was losing her with every passing day and that’s what scared me the most.

Mr. Davenport’s condition had been moved from critical, but he was still in a serious condition. Our days had been spent locked in the apartment, frequently calling Australia for updates. Sav had been desperate to go to the Australia as soon as possible, but the small problem of not having a passport for Max had come up. Who would have thought you would need a passport for a two-year-old? After finally getting an express passport the day before, we now found ourselves in the departure lounge of LAX.

How was I going to survive without seeing Max every day? I had been ready to pack up my life and follow her to Australia, but she wouldn’t have any of that. She wanted me to stay in the States because of my work. I had responsibilities, she’d said, but to me, my responsibilities were her and Max.

Sav had it in her head that she was going to fly into Sydney and go straight to the hospital and then Mr. Davenport would wake up and all would be right with the world. Then they would be back in the US within a week. I knew otherwise, but I couldn’t break her heart by telling her. Even though it killed me—the thought of being away from them and not walking on that flight with them—I couldn’t be the one to break her heart with the truth. I knew Mr. Davenport was far from recovering enough to come back to the States. He had been in critical condition but had only been moved into serious condition the day before. He had a serious head injury. People don’t just wake up from that. Sav was in constant denial of the facts, but that was her way of surviving the shock of what was happening and I had to support her.
