sigh... the power of a mother's mantra
ReplyDeleteAnd what more may a mother do than soothe away fears, while her own heart carries its full weight of worry?
ReplyDeleteOh and especially last night, how poignant that wish must have been.........while a tornado lifted up whole neighborhoods some states away. I love the security with which your little girl goes off to sleep. I wish that for her, every night.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Oaklohoma. I pray the families, especially children recover soon.
ReplyDeleteYeah.
