Does She Know?

How would you describe your relationship with one of your children? Is it good, bad or indifferent? Are you close, distant, so so or just tolerate each other? Do you care whether they care about you, do you care what they think about you, do you listen to the sound of their voice and hear it when it has that slight catch almost a break at certain times when they are remembering. Do you still watch them when they are sleeping curled up in that tiny little ball, snuggled down in that big bed amidst all those pillows with a ponytail at the back of her small little head, sleeping peacefully, remembering her a much younger child. Do you pray for the heartache she has suffered to be eased some and only rainbows of happiness and laughter to smile down upon her from HEAVEN? Does she know that just because her Dad and her big brother have gotten their Heaven date you are her biggest champion? Does she know that in the darkest of night, in the deepest waters, in the worst of storms you will be the one crossing the greatest threats to come to rescue her. Does she know that next to her husband you will stand to slay any dragon that threatens her, him or her children? Does she realize that in some cases you love her more that most people could think or believe is possible?

Does she know that there is no one on this earth that stands any taller, raises her flag any higher, cheers any louder or prays any harder for her? Does she know that all my hopes and dreams didn't die when Bo and David died because of her? Does she know?

She is my "Mini-Me", ready to have a good time, laugh loud, embrace life, go with the flow, try new things, wear new clothes, meet new people and make new memories. Life is short of this we know - we are learning together to "Embrace the moment, make the memory and move on the next great thing that GOD has in store for us."
