Blog Your Blessings Sunday - For My Daughter

Without going into any undue detail which would violate my daughter’s privacy, she is in a dark place right now.  I cannot imagine my world without her in it.  Life before her is just a memory.  She seems to always consider herself in her sister’s shadow, she seems to worry about who is my favorite.  I do not have a favorite ….

She seems to be envious of her sister’s “special” birth in that we nearly lost her.

But my eldest (who we shall be working on a new name for as typing “Miss Angst” is suddenly painful) always seems to forget that she is my first child.  She is the one who transformed me from a woman into a mother.  There is nothing her sister can ever do to outshine that.

I love her beyond words and wish more than anything that I could take her pain away.

So today, my prayer is for one of the greatest blessings in my life to find her way back to the light.

So Mote It Be

Everybody Hurts

“When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you’re sure you’ve had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don’t let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it’s time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you’ve had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don’t throw your hand. Oh, no. Don’t throw your hand.
If you feel like you’re alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you’re on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you’ve had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)
