Dare I hope to hope?
Is it safe? Is it right?
Am I hoping for nothing
But a black and empty night?Today is a very good day for this mom. I’m full of hope. Hope that my daughter is on a path, going a direction, and it’s not off the deep end. If I were a religious person, I’d say, “Dear Lord, please let me enjoy this moment! Amen.”
I’m thrilled to report that my formerly troubled daughter is
now in a very good place: she just texted to tell me she’s getting promoted
based on her hard work and participation in process revisions. I also work in
the corporate world, so I understand how important that is. She’s doing
important work in her world and I’m exceedingly proud of her. Even though she’s
already aware of how hard she works and the opportunities she takes to show
what she can do, I think it surprises her with how much the company respects
and needs her.
