As I lay there in the blackness in the grips of 3am anxiety-induced insomnia, I realise that my teeth are clenched so tight that my jaw is
aching. I just want something, anything to release me from this mental prison.
Suddenly I hear a patter down the hallway and I feel a little person jump into
the bed behind me, it’s my daughter. “I love you Mummy, SOOOOOO much” she says
sleepily snuggling up to me. I hug her tightly, “I love you too sweetheart”
Her unexpected presence is enough to jerk me out of the
trappings of my own mind and I am thankful to be in that moment, warm and safe
in my bed with my husband snoring softly beside us. I look at my beautiful daughter
in the darkness somewhat envious of her innocence and I hope so badly that she
will never have to fight the same inner demons as I do.
Kate, this is adorable and moving at the same time.
