My Baby

I talked with my youngest Wednesday. She started seeing a counselor. She asked me not to tell her sisters. I guess she doesn't want to worry them. She told me how she had been feeling and, how she seemed to be struggling in life these days. Her loss of concentration, her ability to focus.

My heart froze. I choked back panic as I told her that I will be here...whenever she needs me. I have tried not to think of her having the illness as well.

I asked her if she had intentions of being genetically tested for the illness...she said, "Mommy...I can't handle the outcome if it's positive right now". Dear Lord, I so understand that.

My daughters are more courageous than I. I observe them all and they seem to empower my spirit. They fill me with such pride and adoration!

My babies...how beautiful...how faith inspiring...how precious! I love you...
