Mikhal, you gotta give yourself some huge credit for not only being able to hold down the fort but also gleaning the wisdom from what seemed to be pure chaos. I love this: "letting whatever we feel be what it is." This realization is huge. I hope you allow your inner child the space to feel whatever big feelings you feel.

Thank you! :) I'm trying...
