After school, in the car,
we talk about the news,
speak of justice
and revenge
and predictably awful
human responses,
and she says
–this young one–
“I can’t be glad
that someone died,
because I’m a Christian,”
and I, her mother,
let out a breath.
Exhale
lovely
THAT is powerful. Thank you.
Amen, Light Princess. Amen.
Whoah. I exhale too. Powerful.
Amen. You did good, mom.
That could not have been more beautifully expressed by your daughter, nor more beautifully written than by her mother.
wow.
Oh, this is beautiful! Thanks for sharing it.
