Joy in sorrow

It is amazing when someone tells you just what you need to hear when your heart is breaking and you are unable to move beyond your own pain. It is doubly amazing when that person is your own child in a grown up body speaking words that heals your heart. My heart was breaking over and over again about my hair falling out but I could not get myself to move. It only happen for a few days but I constantly was thinking ok when is it going to stop and how bad is this and what am going to do. I was stuck and then Adecia came. She looked at my hair and said mom it's time. More than that she said I was stuck and I had to come to terms with my hair. She listen as I told her my heart was breaking over loosing my hair and all I wanted was to go back. I wanted the old me. She hugged me and said it was time to let it go and embrace the new. Then Dave,Adecia and I shaved my head. I had so much peace when it was done. I know God was there.....my daughter is amazing and she said what I would of said. She also was strong for me. I can't explain the joy I have in knowing and actually seeing my daughter be a very powerful woman. This is the joy in the sorrow. They often walk hand in hand. They are both God's blessing. You don't really know joy until you really understand sorrow.
