A Daughter's Life

Sarah and I had a conversation in the van on the way to school yesterday.  I asked her questions rapid fire and she answered.

Mom "Sarah do you ever cry yourself to sleep?"
Sarah "No."
Mom "Do you ever feel really lonely?"
Sarah "No."
Mom "Do you hate yourself?"
Sarah "No."
Mom "Do you hate your parents?"
Sarah "NO!"
Mom "Do you hate your brothers?"
Sarah "NO!"
Mom "Do you ever wish you were someone else?"
Sarah "No."
Mom "Do you ever consider harming yourself?"
Sarah "No."

Mom "Sarah, I felt all of those things when I was 13 and I will be thanking God all day that you don't."
