Dear Lisa,

It’s good you acknowledge what you feel. Even though I don’t know you, holding you in your time of pain. I’ll leave you with some hopeful words from a beloved author and human, Terry Tempest Williams, “The paradox found in the peace and restlessness of these desert lands, where rockslides, flash floods, and drought are commonplace, allows us to embrace the hardscrabble truths of change. In the process of being broken open, worn down, and reshaped, an uncommon tranquility can follow. Our undoing is also our becoming.

“I have come to believe this is a good thing.” From her book Erosion

The ups & downs of life keep us on our toes to not fall and bust our b...ts. I try to took for the silver lining. Your daughter is well. No one was seriously hurt. You get to ask around from friends if they have a car that is in great shape to sell. My granddaughter learned after 2 lemons don't buy from someone on FB or market place. Good luck with the hunt.

Oh, friend...thanks for your rawness in this post. Yep, sometimes we just have to sit with the anger for a while. Let the feelings happen. And while you aren't in a place to hope at the moment, I'm gonna hold onto some hope for you. Hugs to all of you!
