Every time I get back on my feet, the waves leap up from the shoreline and sweep me back out to sea. Maybe life is meant to be lived adrift, in over my head, but like Disney’s Little Mermaid, “I want to be where the people are.” I want to sing and dance and walk around on my feet instead of struggling to stay afloat and trying to encourage myself with “just keep swimming, just keep swimming.” I tried to write this post yesterday, but I couldn’t. In spite of my firm belief that all things are working together for good, the uncertainty of the moment has my insides tied up in knots. It’s already decided. My girls are my highest calling. Nothing is more important to me than taking care of my children. They might all be grown adults now, but I’m still their mother, and they are still my future and always will be.
