This is beautiful! Some of life's best gifts come from situations that are impossible to see though. (And how amazing is it that you got confirmation of this before tragedy struck, so you could hang onto that hope while going through it!)
This was particularly cool to read, especially since I have heard you share some of the other stories you referenced, so this prequel added that much more weight to the others. Thanks for the insightful post, and your speed conversion for us weirdo Canadians ;).

Thanks, Laura.
Believing is the hardest part, isn't it?
The actor Michael Kane has a great story about finding our way through difficulty.
He was supposed to open a door and enter a scene on queue.
In the ruckus on set, someone had thrown a chair that landed in front of the door. Michael was supposed to enter through.
Michel turned to the stage Director and said, “What do I do?
The stage Director told him, “Use the difficulty!”
“If it’s a comedy.…trip over the chair and fall down… if it's a drama pick up the chair and hurl it across the room!… Use the difficulty!”
I love that story and it’s lesson
“Everything is going to be alright.”
They are such powerful words. They give us hope when all seems dark. They remind us that:
"There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in". Leonard Cohen
Thank you for sharing your story. Beautiful.
Thanks, Jo 🙏🏼
Yes, our cracks are definitely how the light gets in. ☺️

My adopted Canadian family is ALWAYS reflected in my writing. ❤️🔥
"Will this make sense to Michael, Judy, and Ashley?" 🤣
Hahaha!
