Days

It is raining today.
It is the awesome kind of rain,
that makes you want to stay in bed, drowsy,
 as the rain taps on the roof.

When my daughters were small,
I protected them with every fiber in my being.

Now that they are adults,
and something happens,
I am helpless.

I am helpless to make things "right" for them.

It is probably the worst part about being a Mother.

Yes, that is Lauren in the picture.
I pleated and smocked the dress.
{she hated it}

Have a good day, Lauren.
I love you so much.
Mother
