My Mother said to me the other day in a broken voice "They say that God only gives to you what he thinks you can handle" To which I could not at the time reply, but did think in my head "why would he test such a wonderful woman?" "And if he has to, could he please push some of that burden on to me." Since then i have had insomnia, this is unusual for me, but not for most going though a tough time in their life. I talked to my Mom yesterday and her spirits seemed high, well at least higher than to be expected. As I sit here at my computer at 2:40 am i think, is the insomnia and my impossible ability to shut my thoughts off my part of her burden? To ease my mothers tears i would gladly hold up a mountain for her to walk under. And even though said mountain would shatter my wrists and strain my back and legs and break me to the point of tears, I would smile knowing that my mom, who has kept me safe from harm, fed me and gave me love and guidance throughout my life could pass unscathed. But for now its the insomnia, and if that is whats lifting some of the burden for my mom, then I shall stand red eyed and weary for how ever long necessary.
