Wisdom
To Katya, Age 12
I listened.
She said.
Momma how do I tell my Dad I want him to
Stay in one place, have a home.
She listened.
I said.
I’ve never been very good at talking to your Daddy. You must find your own way.
She listened.
I said.
Your Daddy may not ever be the man that you and I need him to be. So, we’ve got to accept the man he is.
She listened.
I said.
We can both keep searching for a man who is right for us. We don’t have to settle.
She said.
Momma you can change the men in your life.
My Daddy will always be my Daddy.
I listened.
