Honey

I got the news a week ago that my daughter Honey is expecting a sweet baby. After going through what I refer to as the lightning round of the stages of grief, I am now resting in acceptance. the response from so many people has been love, support, and overwhelming joy. Thank you all. I have a few thoughts about the whole thing that I would like to share.

Honey is perfect. By perfect, I mean human. Just like all of us. She has the interesting destiny of walking around all day, and her decisions, mistakes, accidents, or just personal actions will be physically evident for all to see. She is my child. She is afraid, but not weak. We are embarking on this journey with joy, positive energy, and love. Lots of love. Honey is smart and intuitive and her own person. My goal is for her to find her voice, her mother love and her inner mama bear. I could not be more proud of all of my children. They are all real and true and full of light.

There are always going to be cracks in the system. There will be those that may, for their own fractured reasons, feel the need to judge or control Honey. Some people, when faced with love and light, squint and get very uncomfortable. That is not my problem. Nor is it Honey's. For now, I will be a shield as best as I can.

Our sweet baby is the size of a raspberry! Its brain is developing as well as its heart. These are big times.
