_____________________________
Tim is born sick. Premature with a weak heart and even weaker lungs. His mother turns her nose in disdain as she looks at his fragile, wrinkly body. The nurse asks her if she wants to hold him. She declines.

Tim spends his first weeks of life lying alone, hooked up to tubes and wires.

His mother holds him for twenty minutes when they are released, holding him on the car ride to the manor.

That is the longest she will ever hold him.
