A Captain looks at 34
I'm a good friend, right? I call, I email, I visit... I offer input & advice as the need arises. Not to say I'm perfect, NaNo! I have in the recent past dropped right off the face of the planet. Traded my whole life in for what's behind port hole #1 then jumped ship. Only to resurface a year later as a starving boat captain who missed her family, friends & life. I know what it feels like to be happy & in love and furthermore; I know what it feels like to be lonely & afraid. I've watched my daughter learn to ride her bike & fall ever so close to the busy road with my heart in my throat. But what can you do? Not teach her to ride for fear of impending doom? Nope, ya can't do that with your best friend either. No amount of fear driven, heart pumping terror for what lies ahead can stop them from doing what they need to do. It's my station as a best friend & mumma to keep them from being run over by the city bus while standing quietly on the side cheering them on. If I seem particularly quiet - don't mind me... I'm just trying to swallow my heart.

Are you ok? Is this post really about baby girl falling or something else?

I'm ok.... just realized I'm really old and can sail the 7 seas but can't control my best buddies potential heartaches. Nor my little girls scraped knees. Life kinda sucks like that....
