My Daughter’s Heart
Muscle cells electrified
Synchronized
Beating together
8 weeks televised
Grey fuzzy image
I see to my right
I fall in love with her then
Watching a little heart try
Muscle and nerves growing
Changing rhythm, too fast
Passing out in my arms
6 years flashing past
Medicated
Her first episode faded
Normal day to day
Terror abated
Until today, nearly 8
Color drained
Scared cries of pain
I am reminded again
That first instant of love
That first moment of terror
Never knowing the outcome
A shared burden we bear
I will weep tonight
For love of this life
— April Resnick
(For friends and family: a scary day but she is feeling better and we are doing fine.)

Thanks, I am still pretty shook up by today’s events. I know I will weep at some point. I appreciate that you read, and I appreciate your comments. Thank you so much.
A cyber arm around your shoulders.
Thank you, thank you. Sigh…
Hugs for you and your daughter.
We are all fine now, but hugs never hurt. 🙂 Thanks so much for the hugs and for reading.
