Neal A. MaxwellI am very much out of my element here. There are moments, listening to the conversations going on around me, when I feel I am going to lose my mind.

Michelle TeaFor a moment, off balance, was I annoyed? Anger is always fear, I thought, and fear is always fear of loss. Would I lose myself if he made those choices? It took a second to settle down: I'd lose nothing. They'd be his wishes, not mine, and he's free to live as he wants. The loss would come if I dared force him, tried to live for him and me as well.
