I Don't Want to Be a Grown-Up

Today has been one of those days that I wish I was still a kid. Riding my bike, throwing rocks at the trash cans, & playing spotlight until midnight. Not really mid-night, our house rule was to be home when the street light came on, but anyway.

I sat in church & Momma Bird put her arm around me. That I was OK with. Then she patted me on the back & rubbed that soothing rub that only Momma's know. I lost it. I starting bawling. I miss my momma, Beezy & I am so homesick. Just to be able to be near her & have her whisper her encouraging words. She does not say anything unique but everything she does is special & means so much to me; if is meant especially for me.

I realized in that moment with Momma Bird's loving arm that I am home & this is my family. Even though Beezy is 562 miles away, my family can love me just as well & in new & exciting ways. I am loved.
