What the hell…Chilly’s little spot on lit


Wherever you go, wherever you've been
Anytime you need a friend
Give me your darkest hour
Give me your deepest fear
Just give me a call and I'll be here
Give me the bars and chains that won't set you free
Give me the weight of your world
Lay it on me
 
Oh man. Just got a panicked call from my kid. She’s stuck on the east coast and may not get a flight out til Monday. First day of classes at the university is Monday. Her boyfriend leaves for a month long field mission on Monday. None of it is world ending but it feels that way for her ya know? And there’s nothing I can do. She calls me to fix it and I can’t. I talked her down and we came up with contingency plans but 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hate feeling helpless/powerless as a mom.

I totally know the feeling and my first irrational thought would be "How long time does it take to drive there?"
I hope the university has some understanding about such things.
The army would have a completely different approach.
"Is it your own funeral? Well if it's not you'll better get your ass over here pronto!!" :D

These are the tough but important moments. The problems you solve aren't the ones that teach anything.

When she's on the other side and the trouble is behind her, (it always passes) she'll have grown a bit more.

You were there and listened. That was enough. And you will be there the next time she picks up the phone and reaches out. She knows that.

There’s always wine.

You were what she needed right at that moment. A safe place to come to when her world was upside down. You raised her. You know she can get through this scary moment, she just needed your voice and her safe spot. 💕
