[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 672353, member: 19522"] Be that for your son then Cedar. Send him an off color funny joke. It is the pebble in the still water and the ripples returning to the beginning. As I wrote this, a moment ago, a neighbor called. I would not normally be home. She calmly said "I just dropped off your daughter in front of your house, she looks pretty bad." Thanking my neighbor, I took a deep breath, said a prayer and went looking for her. She was up the road, lost, turned away from me, backpack, bags in both hands, she could not face me. I went to her and hugged her. I took her bags from her hands and hugged her again and she broke down sobbing. I grabbed her hand and told her to come inside the house and get cleaned up. She is bloodied about the face. A wounded soul. She is my daughter. But she cannot stay here. I will have to see if I can get her to go to rehab, or somewhere. I am numb. My heart is not breaking, for I have seen this before. But my stomach is sore, my na' auao. The innards, the seat of emotion, churning. Please say a prayer for us sisters. This is the part that wears me down. To have to be strong in the face of this. I must be it, and resolute. It is what I miss the most about her, the strength. So I must be it. God. Please. Help. Amen [SIZE=2]Leafy ROAR?[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
