Its still so hard to believe what transpired a few days ago. My heart is still heavy, aching for the families who lost loved ones as a result of a very ill human being.
I spent an early morning with my daughter, surprised by the tears of thankfulness that soaked my cheeks.
I allowed that moment to fully fill my heart and as my breath deepened and slowed, I watched her, amazed at her strength, her determination and her courage......
I am so thankful to be her Mom.
To walk beside her and sometimes a distance behind her, not far, just a few steps so she knows I am close behind.
That I am right here..... just a moment away........
It is so hard to not want to keep her hand tightly in mine, or my arm firmly around her as she grows older. The fear of the unknown in whatever forms that may be, can be so overwhelming......
But as long as I continue to breathe, trust and live thankfully, in each moment, I can let her steps get longer......Her stride a little quicker.....and I can manage to ungrasp her hands that fit so perfectly in mine.......and let my arm slide slowly from her shoulder........and follow her at whatever distance she needs........
So she'll always know I am here for her........
ALWAYS.....
