You Are A Blessing

---

​This daughter of mine…

Visited her sister awhile back…flew to DC…spent a few days…checked out possible places to live…

Mama me thinking about that move…always a go-getter…organized…a get things done kinda gal…

Wants to help…do more…help pack…help purge…help drive the U-haul to the city…you know…things parents do…

But this old gal feels old…tired…not as handy…not as useful…past her prime…and then there it came…those words…

They’re coming to help me move…have it all arranged…and he will drive the U-haul for me…

That sister of hers and her husband…taking the reins…leading the way…coming in clutch…

And so it is…in life…things change…we slow down…can’t do the things we used to do…can’t do the things we want to do…but those things get done…

And how grateful this mama is…to those now willing and able…to fill…an old gal’s shoes…
​
And that daughter of mine…agrees…
