My daughter told me I had to take care of her, that’s what parents do.
I replied, “Well your father is no longer taking care of you.”
She responded, “Momma that’s mean….. he’s dead.”
You may be thinking that was a harsh thing to say to her but it’s true.
Why does he get off the hook because he died earlier than we all expected
and now I am OBLIGATED to play the role of his and mine.
Yep, murder it was and I still think this way.
Why???
Because I’m human. I am a mother to a grieving kid who just wants me to GIVE her
all the things.
Because I’m human. I am a mother to a grieving kid who just wants me to DO
all the things.
After a moment of silence, I informed her of this statement I believe to be true in all of our lives:
“YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO LIVE YOUR LIFE, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE”
and that’s it!!!
