Trina, yes, I think that is a universal feeling—that moment after something unexpected and maybe even scary happens, and the power it has to re-calibrate how you see and feel about things. I have been amazed, really, at how lovely the days since the accident have been for all of us, even though they have been different than we imagined.

Emma, thank you so much for stopping by to share those thoughts.

mrschicken, thank goodness, indeed! I'm so thankful there can be goodness in things we ultimately wish wouldn't have happened. Thanks for thinking of us—hope to see you soon back in the hometown!
