But it wasn't.....

But it wasn’t some catastrophic moment 

that taught me one of the most powerful 

lessons of my life. 

I learned that unbelievably awful things can and do happen. In truth, they are not such rare, isolated events. Each of us has a story that would break someone’s heart. 

Despite the grief and the unfairness of it all, 

we keep going. 

There are chores to be done. 

There are people who still need our care. 

There is a life to be led.
