Remembering 2018

Last week, while studying Swahili in Tanzania, I was taken aback by an unexpected question from an unexpected source...

Last week we returned from a trip we never expected to make.

What would you do? Locked out in a foreign land. No phone. No water. No diapers…

We lost a small part of our home this week...

I was struggling.

I knew I had failed...

Why is it the joy of others makes my hurt ache more acutely?

It seemed like any other wedding...

Transitions are hard.
