This is so beautiful. As a retired mental health counselor I think I’m qualified to say — you would be a great one. Actually, in a way you are, you and Feeney and the rest. The ability to listen to someone’s terror and not move to fix it, not even raise an eyebrow, is one of the greatest gifts one can give. <3
My husband is 86 now, every morning I lay beside him and wish for another good day, a nice normal day, and I try my best to be patient and kind. I hope he knows how much I love him. Last month he was in the hospital a few days. It's hard to live every day as if it is one's last. Life is just so daily. I take a bike ride and look at the sunflowers, gone with the end of summer, and I try my best to live in gratitude for the 80 years I've been given so far. We are all one family, I think, and I just do the best I can each day. Thank you for that writing, it is beautiful. I'm glad you found it again.
This is beautiful, making me cry, inspiring, but most of all explaining - the effect on a body of a bomb - and something of the inside of a person- the ordinary, extraordinary humanity- facing the thing most of us dread. Thank you.

That is a very fine thing to say. Thank you.🧡
Thank you sweet lady. I just thought of what I'd do. And now I'm going to do it whether I have more than a year or not 🤠💜

That is lovely. Thank you right back.☺️
When something shifts you to your core, the ordinary is a balm - lovely, Tania. #lifewriting
