Thank you for reminding me not to choke on my goals because the ideal is taunting me—it's better off to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all, right?<br /><br />I hope you can find your voice again (I think the "Mine to Tell" course I'm taking right now might be something you'd truly enjoy if there's ever another session, though I wouldn't let it get in the way of your pottery class because your pottery is beautiful as well)! <3Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854650885590742659.post-36495986608383739812019-03-07T13:05:04.392-07:002019-03-07T13:05:04.392-07:00Glad to see you writing again.

I think you should. I can't even imagine how hard this journey has been for you. I admire your strength and faith through it all. You're amazing, and I'm so glad you've chosen to let this bring you closer together. You are so right that it could have done the opposite. But it didn't.

And because of the presence your Piran emits through your words. But I hate that your family went through this. I don't trivialize the sanctity of it by suggesting a wish for something else - but I want you to know that I stand solidly in the corner of this absolutely and completely sucks. If there was anything worthwhile I could share about my own experience with grief (and at the risk of being one of *those* people) it's that it can be both holy and hard — most often simultaneously — and sometimes you have to give yourself permission to feel both all the way through. Each time the wave hits. So, so much love to you and the North crew.
