Unexpected illumination

That experience just over a week ago on a super dangerous stretch of Fettersmill Road turned out to be surprisingly illuminating.

For 26 years, there are aspects of my Keet that drive me nuts AND that I somehow expect to just go away.  How different it is to realize, "Hey, it drives me nuts & it's how he is."  He's not going to wake up one day feeling, "It's important to be curious & delving."  He's not going to wake up with both physical & emotional peripheral vision. He's not going to wake up with all the instincts & awarenesses born of taking care of little kids all his life.  

He's going to wake up being JOHN, and that's good enough for me.
