Sending so many hugs, Liz. My dad passed suddenly in 2021. He and my mom had been married for almost 52 years. At the time, my son had just turned 2. Both my mom and I still say that we wouldn't have gotten through my dad's death with our sanity intact without my son. Sometimes on a day when the grief was particularly heavy, just playing trucks with him or reading him a book gave me a few minutes where I was able to breathe. Raising kids can be so tough, but wow, can they also be a guiding light.
Lovely. In France, parents often chide their children to be wise when their behavior is less than optimal, “Sois sage, sois sage.” Sounds like you named her well. 💕
It is wonderful when emotional support is reciprocated from our kids…concerned hugs by little arms and understanding hugs from teens and adult kids arms! Kind hearts ❤️
This is such a beautiful observation about a really memorable transition that empathic kids make in young adullthood… thanks for the good tears, Liz. I wish your dad a swift recovery, here’s a big hug for all of you… ❤️
You have raised remarkable humans. And I’m sorry your family is facing yet another struggle; best wishes for your dad to be healthy and home soon.

I say that to her all the time. (And it has a double meaning about "being Sage" -- maybe I'll write about that sometime)
Beautiful sentiment. Sending good thoughts to your dad and your family.
tearing up over here... I'm not crying, you're crying!
Also, I hope your dad gets better with all due haste. I'm sure he will... it's tough but he's got this and so do you.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
