This is so beautiful and sad and touching and heartbreaking, everything that motherhood is. I am very aware of what Albuterol is as I have two daughters who have to use it. Thank you for sharing this with us, Jacqui. I'll be keeping this poem close to my heart.

Wow, what a necessity. "This person who is mine, but who never was mine."

Rends my heart afresh. Though different, losing a child in the flesh or through a severed relationship is a deep valley. It is learning you have no control in this world, and what control you think you have is an illusion. That is the place where one discovers the intersection of faith and trust.
