Thanks to the Bipolarstoner. So witty. Enjoy!!!!!!

Oh, how I wish I had met you sooner! Your simple magic of fashioning logical answers in such an easy clean sweep is brilliant! Your profound guidance is everything I need to thrive in life. Become a God so I can worship you, please. Tell me I am worthy enough to follow your skilled reasoning to the end of the Earth. I want to bottle you up. I want to marry you. I want you to be my clever tattoo.

I kid, you sonofabitch. The truth is, I despise you.

In my mind, you are immortal. I have killed you repeatedly, yet you persist in existing. I have destroyed you both quickly and creatively, yet you still breathe your stink on me.

Brought over from FB. Posted in 2012. She was 14.

Call from Lulu this afternoon went something like this …
“Mom, my homework is done, my clothes are in the washer, I am unloading the dishwasher and then I’ll start supper. What do you want on your pizza?” I came home to the best french bread pizza ever … mushrooms, onions and pickled jalapenos just like I like it 🙂 LOVE our baby girl!!!

I confess, I missed the signs. Now only in hindsight do I realize what she was doing. She’d always been a mini adult, responsible to a fault. She rarely cried. She was never ANY trouble. A pure joy! Perfect! To me … my perfect miracle. But somehow I failed in letting her know that her best was good enough. That she could cry. That she could just be a kid. That she could stop carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. That she could stop trying to please me.

Regrets, I have a few.

As always, more to come.
