“In those days I was always sticking money here and there for safe-keeping. I stuck Sam Hanks’s unrepayable five-dollar bill into a book where I would have it to use if I had to use it, but where as long as I might keep it I would always know it from any other five-dollar bill.
Egads, Shawn. What a beautiful and vivid image you've painted! We have one year left before our journey to drop our oldest at college, and I can only imagine the feelings will intensify. You've captured them so well (as always)--and this waiting and leaning into and fearing and hoping is so, so similar to carrying that child in my womb. Peace and joy to you all in this transition. And oh, God, safety and tender care.
In this moment, saying a prayer for Cade that he will let his light shine and he will discover and use the gifts from the Almighty. Blessings!
Thank you, Dorothy!

Thanks for your kind words, Beka. I guess we're all doing this thing together, in different ways. It's good to have friends who can help you along.
