Aedrik Quinn, 8, has the rare life-threatening disease cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). This is the first of a series of columns by his mother Allison about their experiences as they undergo treatments, confront the unimaginable—and live their lives.
For a moment I seriously considered taking my 8-year-old son on a crime spree. A mother-and-son cross-country road trip, but with a few semi-spontaneous bank robberies thrown into the mix. A joy ride in a stolen car.
Maybe stealing the Mona Lisa, or at the very least, throwing something at it.
