We thought he’d be excited. We hyped it up for months—you’re going to be a big brother, you get to help, they’ll love you so much. We even let him pick out matching dinosaur onesies for the babies.

We were all in shock, but trying to hide it behind the tears and congratulations.

We thought it was just a summer phase. Elias had begged to visit his grandparents’ farm, trading playgrounds and iPads for mud, feed buckets, and old boots three sizes too big. We assumed he’d last two days, max. Maybe three. That was six weeks ago. Now he’s up every morning at 5AM, shirtless, barefoot, bottle-feeding … Read more
This was taken last spring, up in the high pastures where our family keeps the sheep. My aunt had just brought her youngest, Malik, to visit us for the season. He’s barely four, city-raised, doesn’t know the first thing about livestock. So when he marched up to a skittish black goat—one that even the shepherds … Read more
