I am "4 years old"

meaning tonight is my 4th "Bahai birthday", having declared in 2022. My mother in that year, in mid-May, had a bad fall. (Cute side story: my cell phone rang that morning, and I instinctively thought it was my boyfriend out of state: I am very glad I checked caller ID: it was NOT: it was my mother's assisted living facility calling with VERY unwelcome news). She had needed to leave her assisted living facility (permanently it turned out) to be taken to 2 hospitals, and a rehab center for care.

I was so scared about this sudden turn of events, that I remembered that my local Bahai Center featured a program that evening: when the urgency was resolved, and I had a chance to "think", I rushed over to the Center to be in a spiritual place (who cares what the program was about or who was presenting). I signed my card on the next HD, making official what I had always believed: that the ONE DIVINE has talked to many holy people/ prophets over the ages: B & B (as my boyfriend would say) are some of the latest.
