Mom, Md.

Haley hurt herself tonight. She came to sit on my lap for comfort. I hugged her, kissed her cheek, and made it all better. I can make the pain go away... because I am her mommy.

Right now, it seems so easy to make her feel better. A hug will often do. Sometimes I worry about the future. Will it still be just as easy to make her pain go away? Will a hug be enough?

I hope it will be. I know that when my own heart is hurting, I often turn to my mother's arms for comfort. I don't know how or why it works, it just does. Everytime.
