Don’t worry,
You’ll find the answer if you let it go.
Give yourself some time to falter,
But don’t forgo knowing that you’re loved no matter what.
And everything will come around in time
Sarah McLachlan, Perfect Girl

Lesson #693: I know this for my own life, now I’m believing it for my son: pain is not something to be avoided, but embraced as we’re held safe in the arms of someone who loves us.

Lesson #697: I love my son more today than yesterday, not in spite of his colic and tears, but because of them.

Lesson #700: I will never get this moment again.

Lesson #701: Maybe I’ve been trying to answer the wrong question.
