A Third Ticket

A couple of weeks ago, a new friend asked me how I deal with the uncertainty over what our future holds; how I fight off the fear of not knowing what lies ahead for my son and my family and if he’ll ever be able to live independently. Here is my answer:

First of all, that sense of security and confidence in our grand plan is only an illusion for all of us. I was misguided to ever feel confident that I had any control over what God had planned for me. I happened to receive that wake-up call early in my parenting journey, and I’m grateful for it. It pushes me to live in the moment more and not to sweat the small stuff as much.
