A great reminder. And also keep in mind that many of us came from childhoods where abandonment was very real and we did not have healthy protection or we were the ones serving our parents as parents, so that being said for some it is a longer journey to finding oneself in solitude and being healthy in it. i am grateful that though a lot of work on myself and in surrounding myself with good friends, I made that journey. Here's to compassion for those on the journey now. Hugs from my heart to yours, Kristin
