it's delightful...it's delicious...it's dawesome

Dear Clara,

You were hard on your mom, that would be me, today.

There were moments when I kind of wanted to run away.

But I didn’t.

And then you rallied and cheered up a bit.

Thanks for that.

It reminded me of the girl I adore, that would be you.

Here is the crazy part: now, when all is still, it is as though this really hard day we shared never happened, and I miss you.

I told you it was crazy.

Here is the other thing, my sweet baby, I know you love me and you NEED me, but when you are a mom you are never off duty. That is what makes days like this, especially when they are strung together with other long and hard days, so very hard.

Please forgive me for being less then I know I should be.

I really and truly love you.

Love,

Mom

P.S. One small request: could you please work on being a little cuter?!
