   Summary

   The first time, we pass it right by.

   The second time, we pass right by it – only this time, I’m suddenly startled out of a sound sleep.

   The third time, there’s a clenching in my lungs that I can’t shake.

   The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
