Then again, I came to expect so much control over my life that when we had Devyn and then he got mobile, then he had more complicated needs I really had no skills to go with the flow. I believe this is one of the wisdoms in David’s driving OTR for as long as he did. I had to learn how to live with other people and accept a bit of chaos, a bit of give and take even when I didn’t “feel” like it.

And a Strong patients that I wish would grow inside of me. I’ve never been alone. I have never lived alone. I wish I would have had that chance. To just live and be alone and sit with my thoughts and paint and pray without someone bursting in. You are lucky:)
