It is okay to say, “I cannot, I need a break or I need help.”  Yes…it is okay. It does not mean you or I are weak or uncaring.  I am learning a great deal about the strength and courage needed to identify when help or change is needed.

Monday is a new chapter…or a different one. I return to work both with excitement and hesitation. Our daughter struggles, so I hold my breath and call for help. At some point there is no choice but to move on…life requires it. I suspect I will not do this gracefully, but I will do it the best I can surrounded by those that love our family. I hope our daughter is capable of transitioning with me…for her…for me…for us. As much as she might need my help…I also need hers.
