You told me you prayed for me.

Dear One, 

This week I was facing something I was sure would be failure. I was certain it was going to set in motion another series of  "doings" so that I could complete the task at a later date. I was certain of complication.  

In my current journey to be honest with myself and others, I told you about it. I told you what a big deal it was. I even communicated a bit of my own concern for the outcome. 

You said: "I am praying for you." 

You even sent me a text the next day to reaffirm your love and concern. 

I cannot tell you how much it meant to me. To know that you, this beautiful daughter that I get to love, had taken time to think of me and communicate with me. It gave me courage and hope and connection. 

Thank you for this gift. 

As I walked through what I was facing, I thought of you. I thought of how you love me and care about me. 

I prayed to walk through with success, but I even prayed that your prayers would be answered so your faith would grow. 

That is my hope for you, that you keep praying and you keep seeking answers. 

You are a delight to my life. It is a privilege to love you. 

You are unique and beautiful. Your heart and mind are open and fiery and fierce. Do not lose hope in who you are. You have so much to offer. 

Love you forever,

Mom
