Wow, Vickee. You’ve been through so much, across major dimensions of life. I’m so sorry to hear of your kidney cancer, but relieved that you have recovered well from the surgery. I’m sorry, too, that you and your partner have separated, but it sounds like this was helpful and that your relationship is actually better now. And on top of these life events you are having to accommodate the loss of Ellie and endure those darn viruses. All of this is a lot!
But I’m glad you are feeling the pride of parenting and that your kids are moving forward in their lives in positive ways. That’s a blessing, for sure. And I’m also glad you have such helpful physical therapists.
You sound realistic and accepting of life challenges but also strong and hopeful about growth possibilities ahead.
It also sounds like your spirit is ready to resume personal writing. I remember, and I see in your current post, that you are not afraid to be deeply self-revealing. Also, I admire that you are able to let go of a driving need to revise and edit your personal pieces. (I often get caught up in refining and re-refining what I write, as if I’m in the grip of continuous improvement.) But letting feelings and reflections flow naturally, as if in a conversation, can, I think, be liberating for the writer and highly relatable for the reader.
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful, or at least good enough, week.
Hi Glen! Thank you as always for all of your kind and encouraging words. I’m looking forward to a better, or at least more positive year. I hope yours is good as well. 😊
