This beautiful and bitter sweet. It perfectly captures the triggers that the minutiae of this time of year can set off. Every little thing becomes a big controversy. You’re playing ’guess the reaction’ to every decision you make, every present you buy. It’s devastating and exhausting. You see the person they once were, the potential for them to be the adult that you’ve nurtured, but this cancer; this ideology, has turned them into a stranger. Thank you for putting into words what so many of us are going through. I pray that God will rescue all of our children and restore them to us and to themselves.
