I loved your Monday writing, your surrendering of productivity, giving yourself over to slow time. Witnessing and waiting it out. It's so hard when little ones are sick: hard to see them suffer, but also hard to power down one's own activities and (at least in my own experience) feel a little sorry for myself as well. (And then feel guilty about thinking of myself at all, while trying to comfort a sick child.)

How right to find safety in those moments for yourself as well as your daughter. Motherhood makes us wise, though the lessons are hard. Wishing you a healthy household again soon. Your writing and your art are so wonderful.

I hope F is better. There is part of a line from a poem I read long ago…”I am rocking my baby and babies don’t keep…”. Counting blessings with every breath each of my 3 daughters and 5 granddaughters take. ❤️🌹💫
