EXCERPT: This business of being a human being is infinitely more fraught than I was led to believe. When my son Sam figured out at 7 years old that he and I were not going to die at the exact same moment, he said, If I had known that, I wouldnt have agreed to be born. That says it for me. Its hard here, and weird. The greatness of love and laughter, the pain of loss, the bearing of one anothers burdens, are all mixed up, like the crazy catch-all drawer in the kitchen. This doesnt really work for me. -- Anne Lamott (h/t Tommy Finkelstein)
