No Sleep

I am up much too early again. I've been communicating with some of my kids, who never seem to sleep at all. I cannot imagine why they are still awake at 3 a.m.

But when you are filled with emotion, it is difficult to sleep. How do you explain all of this? Maybe the result of accepting your emotions, medically, is a diagnosis of anxiety. Why is that?

We have medicines to treat these conditions, but maybe they don't need to be treated. Maybe these feelings just need to be felt and lived with and through.

This was an emotional weekend for me and my three youngest kids. Maybe we shouldn't be able to sleep through it. We are remembering someone special we lost year ago. And that is enough to keep us sleepless.
