Even when I could not yet see the light, something in me believed it would return.<\/p>\n
School started, and it made me stop and think about how quickly time passes.<\/p>\n
This is how it felt: part of me was happy that autumn had arrived, bringing a daily rhythm back to our family. Another part felt a little wistful as I thought about our children growing up, both soon to be in lower secondary school.<\/p>\n
Gradually, I understood something important. Time passes bewilderingly fast. Somehow you only really grasp it when your own child starts school and the years begin to fly.<\/p>\n
To you, perhaps walking a similar road right now: remember yourself in the midst of all these years. Be gentle with the passage of time, and enjoy watching your children grow towards adulthood.<\/p>\n
My story may not have been finished in that moment. But I kept moving forward \u2014 as myself, a little kinder to myself.<\/p>\n
