And I know so well this perspective-giving you're speaking of, how it's fleeting and hard-won. It's too bad we return to a state of stasis so quickly, isn't it? Although, I suspect you've been forever changed by this experience. Also, I very much identify with what you say about the "capacity" for worrying. Filling up your "balloon" with one large thing rather than many small things is a wholly different experience -- I've done both in my life -- and it's a very interesting way to think about it. I'm glad you're all back together again. Love this post, Emily. And I know so well this perspective-giving you’re speaking of, how it’s fleeting and hard-won.

I literally lol regarding your description of dropping off Chase and the line about "I wonder if he started his summer reading". On a more serious note, we all breathed a sigh of relief when everyone arrived home safely. Emily, this is a great post.
