Be an ER

---

This old gal…

Was scrolling through her phone…when two photos…side by side…caught her eye…same pose…same smile…same big Bohemie head…couldn’t help but to think the word…twins…those daughters of mine…always say it…when two of us jinx paddlelock…or text the same comment unknowingly…

And there we were…in that Google photo line up…little Smidge and her Mama…40 years apart…but kind of like…twins…it’s funny…seeing yourself…in your kids…seeing the good…and the not so good…taking credit for the good…failing to pass off the not so good…to some other genetic link they may have floating around in there somewhere…

But truth be told…mama me…hopes for more for these ladies…more…than being like their mom…more than being a twin…instead…may they become…the ER version…of hER…
StrongER…bravER…wisER…kindER…calmER…happiER…

This old gal…on many occasions…has fallen short…in the world of life and mothering…may these sweet treasures of mine…take this to heart…learn from these mistakes…and become…

A bettER version…of the woman…who loves…them most…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
