I didn't leave. I disappeared while staying.
Alejandro A. Aguilar was there for all of it - the diagnosis, the therapies, the IEP meetings, the years of nights when his daughter's body was wired to be awake while the world slept. He never walked out. But somewhere in the middle of all that showing up, he stopped being a father and became a function: the scheduler, the problem-solver, the logistics manager of his own family.
LOVE IS is the honest account of what eighteen years of raising a daughter with Smith-Magenis Syndrome cost one father - and what it gave back. Structured around 1 Corinthians 13, each chapter takes one quality of love and holds it against the reality of special needs fatherhood: not idealized, not tidy, but actual. The bedtime that detonates every night. The mall floor at Christmas. The flinch he put in his daughter's shoulders, and the years of learning to undo it.
This is not a book about a father who got it right. It's a book about a man who kept coming back the next morning, and the morning after that.
For the father who is present but not quite there. For the family living something no one around them has vocabulary for. You are not broken. You are not a bad father. And the love that called you to this road has not failed.
