I read this with the journey of your son getting into college and dealing with the extra stress (and the way you've always been there for him in my mind), and I want to cheer. Because I can only imagine the amount of energy (physical and emotional) that it takes to stand standing (even dancing) while the pending storms stares one in the eye... constantly. You are amazing, my friend. And your coping skills are masterful.
