“Uncertainty is wisdom in motion” and “honor the discomforting work of not-knowing.” Wow, you have a zinger here, Sally, and I am just in awe of your ability to apply your amazing writing skills to this painful journey you’re on — in a way that honors everyone involved and gifts your readers with wisdom and insight we wouldn’t have otherwise.

Those lines nearly jumped off the page at me. It took me some time, to actually understand the first quote, but as I have been living in this new uncertainty, I am seeing the truth (and the wisdom) in it. Thank you for your kind and supportive words.

You write that your daughter has wisdom. You do too. Your words have captured a mother's heart and the struggles we must sustain ourselves through. A mother's heart never stops and a child's need is real even when the child is an adult. Prayers for all of you. (my mantra...stay in today)

No words, Sally. Loads of feelings. Awe at your strength, at Amy's, at Keicha's selfless love. And now, all I can offer is hope. And prayers. And love.

“honor the discomforting work of not-knowing” - that is a challenge! Thank you for sharing your very real reactions to this return to more uncertainty. I’m so sorry. I want answers for you and your family too. Praying

Sarah, your mantra, speaks such wisdom to me, and knowing it comes from you, a woman who has been through so many hard days, especially of late, makes me know it is a mantra worth repeating to myself. Thank you for your support, and for you kind words.

Thank you so much, Sue. Your prayers mean more than you know. I’m not sure if waiting, or not knowing is the worst part. I think it is the not knowing.
