Thank you for sharing this, Amy. I love the “abiding with” people. And bobbing or treading along, regardless of the current. I’m so glad you’re here, and have the courage to write about this.

I love that phrase, too -- my friend Jess is so wise! And I appreciate your kind words. Now if only I could learn to bob along in the SF Bay like you, my brave friend!

I can’t imagine how difficult this must be. I agree with Gretchen, though. I’m glad you’re here.
