Dear baby Rach,<\/p>\n
It really was OK for you to come when you did be who you were to get to who you are. Which is me now. It doesn\u2019t really matter if it was a shock when you arrived. And you didn\u2019t mean to steal anyone\u2019s thunder. It\u2019s OK to sing your heart song and speak your voice and tell the truth of \u00a0what you will become. Everyone doesn\u2019t always love everyone and everything isn\u2019t always what we thought it would be. Time doesn\u2019t heal all wounds and love doesn\u2019t fix much of anything. That old game of landing on your feet isn\u2019t always fun but when you dust off your knees \u00a0it\u2019s not so hard to take some more steps. You are precious. Pain is a message listen to the subtle ones<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sorry I let adulting get in the way \u00a0promise I will be more sensitive in the future<\/p>\n
love,<\/p>\n
me now<\/p>\n
