We never could have known when she was born that she would only be staying with us for such a short while. Just long enough to light beside us, gently flap her delicate wings, and send the reverberations of love into our hearts to guide our lives.
I am the most me I can be and no matter what happens to me I know it is not because I am being “punished” or if I promise to be “good” then things will change. Karma just doesn’t work that fast.
"Because I got what I wanted, and it wasn't enough. And when I looked back on my life, and thought of all the times I said, if only I could get this, it'd be enough, I realized that it was never enough. And I realized that the part of the human mind that wants never stops its wanting."
And remember the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, "You wouldn't worry so much about what others thought of you when you realize how seldom they actually do."
So much of what we want to happen to our children when we are parents, crawling, walking, running, talking, and on and on, is so confusing, and we never know how or when it will start, and when it does start, it seems like magic. We don’t know why it’s happening. It just does when it does.
