I very much admire your courage to reconcile to the ‘hand that you have been dealt’ and for grappling with the anger and injustice of your situation, to find true peace in God. Your words were very moving and inspiring.

It really makes me think about the generations: our ancestors in us and in our children, how we ourselves are ancestors, being good ancestors, how we play our part in the generational story and what we pass on to our children.

Though I know many aspects of your story Jennie, reading this again offers new insight into your journey these past few years in particular and the wider impact that has on you in this ongoing relationship with your mum and now your own children. i really appreciate how open and vulnerable you’ve been here.

It can’t be easy to write about your mum and your own journey with cancer in this way. It touched me when you said on Friday that you pray over your children that they may know the peace you have known through devotion and belief in God. Even when peace and that feeling of love is momentary, it carries us through. I wonder what practices, people, prayers help you to feel that peace? What practices might you pass on to your children or share with us perhaps on this journey we are on together?
