WORRIED MAMA

or the 2 days I have been one very worried mama.  My sweet Katie Bug is in the hospital with menengitis.  We are not sure weather it is viral or bacterial at this point but she is surely ill.
These are the times I wish I could take her place.  She needs to be well to care for her little son, Landen and he really needs her.  My prayers are constant and I know that they are being heard. Bless my daughter, Father.  She is hurting and so ill. 

A DAY LONG AWAITED

ON TEH MORROW MY BABY GIRL WILL BE A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE.

THAT BEING SAID, MY THOUGHTS ARE RACING BACK TO THE DAY SHE WAS BORN.  WHERE HAS ALL THE TIME GONE?  WHEN DID SHE GROW-UP SO FAST? IS SHE READY FOR THE BIG WORLD FACING HER? DID I DO MY BEST AT RAISING HER?  THESE QUESTIONS GO ON & ON.

HERE IS A POEM THAT I FOUND MANY YEARS AGO THAT SAY MOST OF WHAT I AM FEELING:

               MONDAY THE BABY LEARNED HOW TO WALK
