I had the exact same experience, almost to a tee, with my own familly recently. It kind of feels like you're unlocking one of the many padlocks we've put on our own hearts. Its like it's easier to "breathe" now... but I don't quite know what to do with this extra breathe I have, I guess the solution is to keep breathing more and more deeply.
