You're listening to the place we find ourselves podcast.

Thank you for listening.

I have been stunned by the response to this podcast.

It's been downloaded 50,000 times in 100 countries.

And that is because lots of you are sharing it with friends

for which I am deeply grateful.

Today, my friend Autumn is going to read a story

that is a beautiful illustration of what it can look like

to engage a parent who has done harm.

This story is from a very recent time in Autumn's life

when she found herself caring for her sick mother.

And for all of its redemptive beauty,

there is nothing tidy about this story.

You'll hear about Autumn's dysregulation

and indeed her murderous rage at her mother.

But you'll also hear about Autumn's fierce commitment

to offer her mother the very thing that Autumn never received

as a girl.

It is truly an astonishing story.

May we all hold Autumn's story with a sense of honor

and gratitude.

And may her courage and tenacity for good invite us
