Maybe there'll be a cure.
Maybe my child will have growth.
Maybe they'll expand in a way I can't possibly imagine today.
Or maybe there's something in this moment that I could appreciate.
Maybe there's something that, and sometimes it could come down to a smile or holding a hand if your child's sick.
But we really have no idea what's going to happen next in our life.
And what we do is we take our entire life on in one moment.
And with maybe we realize, okay, I don't know, but not knowing leaves me with hope and possibility, not knowing leaves me with the fact that this situation could change.
It could get better and it could lead in the direction I never imagined.
And that's what maybe does.
So you let go of the expectation because the expectation is often a story that you are writing about how things need to be for your child to be okay.
And when you let that go and you realize, okay, this is where I am in the moment.
And maybe there are gifts I can't see in the future.
So that's where I feel the biggest gift for maybe is with, with people, with, with parenting, with, with children.
When it comes to parenting or when it comes to any...
Well, there's an exercise actually in the first chapter of the book, which I discovered through my own pain as parenting.
And what actually happened to me is that my daughter was having some stomach problems.
And I thought, oh, that's not a very big deal.
And I took her to the doctor and I was sitting there and the doctor said to me, Alison, I think she could have celiac disease.
And he didn't know for sure.
