Today I’m over here, with a short essay I wrote a few years ago. It feels as true today as it did then, perhaps even more-so after Avery’s surgery. I hope it rings true for you, too.
Thanks, Louise!

I love it! I cancel therapy, sometimes, too. Just because, sometimes, I want to see how the other half lives!!! It’s nice, though, too, to open that gate back up.
i’m going to try that on the days i’m feeling overwhelmed with it all…. then just pick it back up the next day. what a great way to turn those tuff days around.
What a great strategy! and metaphor too! So many times I can just live and not have to be anybody special- I’ll have to think now about how I do that!
Oh, how I love this! I read it over and over again when you first wrote it and now I find myself doing the same! Hope all is well!
Jennifer, you have no idea how much I needed to read your post. I’ve been incredibly overwhelmed with life lately (not because of Lucas luckily!), and really need to put up my gate. I will remember to do so more often to preserve my sanity and our family’s wholeness.
Thanks again!
