Holding Moses
Rivkah Beth Medow & Jen Rainin
Randi is visually striking with close-cropped hair and presents as very masculine of center, which defies most people’s image of a mother. Birthing her son felt triumphant, then confusing as he was immediately whisked away to the NICU. When doctors shared that Moses was profoundly disabled and faced a tenuous future, Randi fell into a well of grief before unearthing a new language by which to love.
