Lyle, this is so good. What’s thoughtful and creative perspective! It’s inspiring but also relatable. Even if we aren’t challenged by the same hand that life dealt you and Allison, we might also experience repetitive, mundane, or even demoralizing tasks that beg the same mindfulness, if only just to appreciate the present moment rather than let life slip by.
Whew. 😥 Amazing share my friend. An ordinary—and yet extraordinary—morning for the McKeany family. Thank you for taking us through that process with grace and love.
You know what? Out of all the reflective-style posts I've read from numerous people, this might be the best. Great structure, storytelling within a story, and relatable. This is certainly what books are made of. Really well done.
I would argue that realizing something is 'corny' means you are practicing noticing. This is an exquisite essay on how are body can be in one place, our mind in another and sometimes the twain does meet. Thank you for sharing this in all its honesty.
Wow Lyle. This was an incredible read. You took the idea of ordinary to a new level, and brought home our series in a way I'm in awe of. Your family is so lucky to have you.
Incredible. The thing it reminded me of most, honestly, was taking care of my dad when he had cancer. The plungers. The syringes. The meds. But you're dealing with raising a daughter. Profound courage, my friend.

I love a lot of the things you’ve written over the years Lyle. This one might be my favourite.
Wow, that means a lot, Kevin
