She has you and the people you both love always around her and she is taken care of with love and tended to with love and told she is loved and I can only imagine that she is certainly not terrified but feels each molecule of love that you all show her in so many ways.

This, so much. I believe this fully.

Not knowing… 😩💔 Witnessing your words— those written and unspoken but felt. Sending love and contemplating working on an invention for you to switch off that terrifying duck reel. Thanks for spilling out your emotions and thoughts. May releasing them to the universe bring a breath of peace. You are held and loved.

I can only echo this, especially the words unspoken as well as written, and responding with all the love I have.

To not know would be so hard. Katie lets everyone know if she's happy or sad or pissed. I always assume she feels and thinks as I do too. Sending hugs Elizabeth.

Beautiful Elizabeth. I do think Soph has peaceful days when she has H and O making her laugh inside…when Saint M would do her hair or Valentine would lick her face (wait no that was annoying). She also, like all of us, has hard days and you have both been through so much these past few years. Soph is sassy so I think she is actually saying, when she looks in your eyes now…”bitch can you believe this shit!” I love you both so much!

Now is all there is, really. That's what my Zen teacher would say. (In addition to other more profound things which would probably be much more helpful and compassionate.) There is a certain peace in the anchorite idea, isn't there?

Your words and the way you strive to express the thing that is the closest to the way it feels is such a gift.

may love wash over, along with time.

You and Sophie have been on my mind a lot lately. Thinking quality of life thoughts, more so as I am with people who are navigating idiosyncratic paths through their personal physical and mental states of being. Even having words, is sometimes not enough to figure out what to do, which way to go.

With affection and thoughts of peace and love for you and Sophie.

She is loved and cared for and not alone. She looks into you to let you know she sees you, knows what you do, loves you for all time. And maybe she hopes for your peace, too.
