My life these days feels like one hard conversation after another after another. My only solace is knowing my children are watching and learning about the power of courage over comfort, vulnerability over veneers, conviction over convenience, and strength over surrender. I hope the memories they carry into the future, even the hard ones, are threaded with resilience and hope and shared laughter and healing tears and buckets of love. And I hope they always trust that for whatever time I have remaining, I’m here for them, no matter what. - L.R.Knost
