About

Max’s mom is a seamstress. Most nights, she stays up late working. The buzz of her sewing machine can be heard all throughout the house. Max is used to the sound, and when he wakes up in the night, he likes knowing that his mom is there… But then one night he discovers that she may not be alone.

This story deals with grief and mental health struggles, please take care while listening.

Thank you, Max, for sharing your story with us.
