I bought a gratitude journal yesterday and am going to write every day in it. In Buddhism, gratitude is the antidote to fear. And I am grateful for so much in my life, and yesterday I was glad my husband returned to be by my side while we worry our heads off about our daughter. He can be so sensible and steady, not always, but he's pretty good in a crisis.
We watched a strange movie with Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn last night, Sea of Grass. Tracy was wooden and an awful character, but Hepburn was transcendent. It was very melodramatic, and set in New Mexico. I don't think I'll be seeing that one again. But then strange is the state we're in right now, still in shock, knowing our daughter's surgery is tomorrow, not being there by decree, and waiting for news. I am going to pray and walk with my friend tomorrow morning, and I know my friends will be thinking of her as well.
We will hold her in our hearts, and protect her.
