Beautiful. Every word. I’m not a mother. I never choose it, never sought it. This story brought up a longing for things I’ve never lived. But in a gorgeous way. Whenever something moves me so quickly to tears, I am grateful for the wisdom of it. Thank you.

Such a touching and beautiful piece of writing! Thanks for letting me be "a fly on the wall" and part of those intensely personal family moments, Jena.
