Beautiful, wise and loving words. I think you have an article there. I can sense your wisdom and experience of life behind it. Morris West, in his book The Shoes of the Fisherman, has a quote. This is not the full quote ( I think), but it gives you the idea.

"One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to the total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying."
