This is a post to give words to your pain and hope for your grief this day.

I want to honor you and your too-often hidden sacrifice of love in birthing and nurturing spiritual children.

For something shifted in the crowd who welcomed Jesus with palm branches waving, surrendering their outerwear as a pathway for their donkey-saddled King. Something shifted between this "Triumphal Entry" and the angry crowds begging for his execution on Friday. It was the overlooked days of "Holy Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday."

I am learning this as I write my first book and grapple with a personality best described as "ambivert."
