Your mother's intuition set off alarm bells before you even knew what had happened. What a miracle she survived! And what a wonderful way to remake the memory of this day.

I am so glad for the hard earned outcome of this story. And thanks for the reminder that things can, and often do, turn around. Even countries. 😊

Thank you, Victoria! Hard-earned is exactly right. And I'm glad that reminder seemed meaningful to you. My daughter just refused to sit down and give up, and l think that's what we all need to do, too. I appreciate so much all the ways you've worked with your writing to help with that turn around for our country, and that l believe is coming!

So happy to see you here, Constance! Yesterday someone told me that if we all through our own problems, written on pieces of paper, into a pile on the floor and we were told to choose one, we'd all choose our own. I believe that's because we get the grace to get through ours, not someone else's. I've seen it over and over. I'm so happy for you, for Amy, and for all the family who got to connect last night! I'm here on the west coast and have spent time with my own adult kiddos, grands, and even some great-grands. It's the best.
