It went from "Mom, stop telling me what to do"
To "Mom, please tell me what to do."
Somewhere between then and now
It went from "Mom, you don't understand"
To "Mom, I don't understand."
Somewhere between then and now
It went from, "Mom, stop asking so many questions"
To "Mom, I have so many questions."
Somewhere between then and now
It went from "Mom, leave me alone"
To "Mom, never leave my side."
Somewhere between then and now
I realized the other half of my heart was always
the person who created it in the first place.

My daughter didn’t write this. She saw it somewhere and it made her think of us, with the result that these lovely sentences appeared in my text messages as I was drifting off. I did not toss and turn this night. I think I was smiling in my sleep.
Beautiful and so true.
ReplyDeleteYes. That's all I can say- yes.
