And so I just think wouldn't it be great if it did has changed my life so much and cracked open like not necessarily the best one.

Sometimes you cannot have joy without risking pain or inviting pain.

And for me, it was like another layer of uncertainty.

It's like pregnancy itself is like so much uncertainty, so much fear.

And I actually, as a new mom, had to keep reminding myself, like, you know, it's like you go in and you, like, make sure the baby's still breathing.

And you're like, is everything okay?

She gets a fever and it's such a panic.

And, like, I had to remember and be like, I am 99% certain that this person is going to be fine, Katie.

I'm 99% certain that Paul will not be fine.

So, like, that is now, like, where I need to hold, like, my energy.

So that was kind of, like, helpful.

Like, when she was a baby, it was like...

It's so easy to wish away time.

You know, it's like, oh, I can't wait till she sleeps through the night or like, what's she going to be like when she's like 18?

And there was none of that.

It was like, this is like the moment that Paul will be here for is like Katie's infanthood and like Paul's final years.

And so there was no like wishing away the moment.

It was all present.

And it turns out like that's actually really good for you.

It's like the reason people like learn to meditate or, you know, or it's like I'm washing my hands in the sink.
