She's getting older

She checked the weather this morning, just as she's done since she was little....She practiced her violin scales.... She talked to me about solvents, greasy hair, and eating disorders. She brought me a hot cup of tea tonight...She wants to go to culinary school...She befriends the lonely girls at school...I want so desperately to get this thing right...to foster independence...confidence...creativity....a passion and love for life, for others....I feel inept. Scared. Please help me, God.

I love her.

They are so beautiful. It's stunning.

And I don't think any of us can do it. So we just go one step at a time, and take the moments where we say and do the right thing as little gifts.
