Tate and Chrystine and families

[Guest guest]

Oh dear-

I am so deeply moved by these recent incidents. Everyone has the awareness in

varying depths that life is ephemeral and truly out of our control - but the

majority don't live with it as a daily reality with such intensity as we do. I

seemed to have completely forgotten how would turn blue depending on the

position of his head, or the gripping fear as he would try to dislodge an airway

obstruction as an infant and a toddler..... it has ebbed away.

I have joked with a friend that my life is truly abundant with blessings, but

the blessings are so cleverly cloaked. People without the challenges I have had

would not recognize my most cherished blessings, but more likely would fear

them. I am ever and continually grateful that my experience parenting and

caretaking for has only increased my sensitivity and capacity for joy,

grace, mercy, gratitude and blessings.

I trust such gift shall also be yours, and I will keep Tate, Chrystine and your

families warmly in my heart, prayers, wishes and longings - for joy, wholeness,

radiant health, peace and a long string of uninterrupted completely medically

uneventful, deliciously ordinary days......

with the greatest love -

yuka

Yuka,

I couldn't have said it better myself. (No really,

those words were truly inspiring, right on target, and

amazingly eloquent.)

May God bless Tate, Chrystine, and their families.

Thanks for finding the words that I sometimes cannot,

ina, mom to Luca (3.5) & Vinny (1.5 w/ cHARgE)
