4. That's a remarkable story.

Giving up the need for control is a hard thing for humans to do, but we don't really control anything except our own reactions to situations. I have heard a wise teacher say to not worry about the future. The future is just a fantasy because no one knows for sure what will happen. By taking care of the present moment and being aware of it, you will be taking care of your future.

I'm sorry you went through such a tough time, but very happy for your outcome

Wishing you peace and love.
