Spiritual growth requires that we let go of our stories about who we are, because they are stories about who we were. How we show up right this moment is all that counts.
My best friend, MaryAnn and I were close for 28 years even though I met her young, and she was 25 years older. Every holiday, every birthday, every relationship, steady as a rock. And when she got dementia I helped care for her, and sat thru hospice at the end. Age don’t matter.
