SHE BELONGS.

i survived another sleep without nightmares. without having to go pee. without falling off the bed. mornings are good. mornings are quiet.

aside from the sore feet and sore knee i wake up happy and with some sense of hope that today is going to be a better day than the last.

i take a sip from my coffee mug. the coffee tastes great. the mug says, “DAD.”

i stop thinking and start feeling.

i feel.

i feel the love of my daughter and the love for my daughter. she bought me that mug. she is a great kid…adult now. time flies. she is thriving out west and i am soooo happy for her. the phone calls to her and from her have been less and less each week and i guess that is how life works. she’s becoming independent. she’s meeting great friends. she is happy and vibrant and filled with a HUGE sense that she belongs and SHE IS RIGHT.

SHE BELONGS.

SHE BELONGS IN SUCH A BIG WAY.

SHE NOT ONLY BELONGS SHE IS NEEDED IN THESE TIMES OF HATRED AND GREED.
