My 10-Year-Old Son, Who Was at His Grandmother’s House, Called Me Saying, ‘Save Me, Mommy!’ My world completely changed when I answered a phone that arrived two weeks after I had sent my son to live with his grandmother.

My son was under my mother-in-law’s care, and he asked me to save him. I hurried to her apartment, determined to save him, only to discover an unexpected note on the table.

When you answered a call, did it ever make you shiver? Yes, I did. And it seemed as though my life had ended.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself and how I got here, though, before I dive into that breathtaking moment.
