In this essay, Janet Tamez sits in a hotel lobby and hears a mother shushing her autistic son. She is brought back to a night in Mexico where another mother grieves over her son’s autism on a park bench.  Weaving together personal memory with Toni Cade Bambara’s "Raymond’s Run," she explores the unseen bonds between women, the ways we try to contain one another’s differences, and the love that allows people to grow in their own way.
