 Bravo!
Excellent...
Reminds me of once seeing Paula Deen (a Cook on the Food Network) on Oprah, saying that ever since she accepted her children's death, she isn't afraid of anything anymore. Naturally, this required some explanation... and as most of us would rather take on pain/illness/injury/death ourselves than see it inflicted upon our children, it's pretty freeing to acknowledge this. No, her children were still very much alive... but she'd accepted that they would, indeed, someday die, and she was able to allow the thought without pause and pain and fear. I imagine you are on that same footing, too, Steve.
Wonderful article, Steve. Thank you!
Love,
Joy
