When the boys finish eating their pastries, I start gathering their things to go home. Today has been a fucked-up day, and I need some peace and quiet. We say goodbye to my parents and sister and walk out to the car. I buckle them in and get into the driver’s seat.

“Daddy, is Nonna gonna be okay?” Lucio asks.

“I don’t know, buddy, but I hope so,” is all I can muster telling my kids tonight.

Before I start driving, I turn the radio dial to WZLX. It’s 9:02 p.m., and I am just in time to listen to “Getting the Led Out,” the nightly installment of playing three back-to-back Led Zeppelin songs. Led Zeppelin is always good for the soul.

It’s 9:45 p.m. when I pull into the driveway. I see Camila open the front door. She waits on the porch as I unbuckle the boys and help them out of the car. When they see her, they’re excited. “Mommy, Mommy, Zia Stella bought us pastries,” Leandro yells as they both run to her waiting arms.
