From this episode:
"… a couple of the daughters were in high school and they were really, really upset at the prospect of this move. After they moved, they thought it was the end of the world. In conversation with them, I would hear them talk about what they left behind. Leaving the friends, leaving what they thought the future would hold. They worried that their future could not possibly be as good as their past, and that whatever future there was would be nothing like what they had imagined or hoped it would be. And what about all the memories that they would leave behind?
"My own daughter, in a conversation with me a few months ago, and expecting her second child, expressed some anxiety about how she would feel about the new baby. How would she feel when he was born? What if she didn't love him as much as the first one? What if there wasn't enough love to go around? What if her future just held more labor and less love? Now, most parents have similar questions with their second child, but of course this was her first second child."
Change is always easier, and the future always brighter, when we understand how to love.
