I wait patiently as my daughter gathers her thoughts. When she
starts to speak I can't help but to be amazed at Willa's
maturity.
She eventually comes to sit next to me and I place my arm
lightly around her shoulders. "Well, I have to say, I am
impressed with your maturity." Letting that sink in for a few
moments, I gently fiddle with her hair.
"Why do you think Toni, especially?"

*Smiles as Momma plays with my hair and thinks about her
question*
"Well, i'd say kikis too little to really understand everything,
and well, Iona's a teenager and i think she's fairly used to
being kinda independant anyway. i think toni kinda got used to
looking out for herself too with her dad but shes not really old
enough for that yet - look what happened when she tried to
cook!"

As I continue to stroke my daughter's hair, I think about what
she's saying. "Well, I guess that's true," I answer with a small
laugh about Toni's cooking abilities. "But you know, that
doesn't mean that you should need me less," I point out. "I do
have enough love for all of you."

*nods thoughtfully when Momma says she has enough love for all
of us*
"I don't think ill ever stop needing you momma. Momma, did you
ever wish that you had more kids of your own?"

"Well, I hope you'll never stop needing me," I answer my
daughter quietly, with a small smile. "But as you grow up, the
way you need me is going to change and that's okay. Just never
forget, Willa, that I will always be here for you."
My daughter asks if I've ever wanted more children of my own and
I think for a minute. "Well," I begin, "I think it would have
been nice for you to grow up with a sibling or two, and I would
have loved to watch you all play together. But Iona, Toni, and
Kiki are my children just as much as you are. I don't think the
way they came to us makes them any less mine, or any less your
siblings. Does that make sense?"

*Nods at Momma when she asks it what she said makes sense.*
"yeah, that makes sense, i guess i hadn't thought of it that way
before. I can't imagine what it would have been like growing up
with them - or well, i guess i'd have been growing up mainly
with Iona!"
*Grins at Momma*
"You know, there is one advantage to there being so much chaos
in the house these days.......your attention being divided could
have some possibilities....not that i'd take advantage, of
course......"

"If you and Iona had grown up together I think I might have a
few more greys than I have now," I chuckle out.
She says that my attention being divided has some possibilities
and I raise an eyebrow. "Uh huh. You better not," I caution
lightly. "Because then you'd be finding out exactly how capable
I am of still keeping an eye on all of you!"

*Laughs when Momma says she's quite able to keep watch on all of
us*
"Somehow Momma, i don't doubt that for a second! And Momma, if
Iona and i had grown up together, i don't think you'd just have
grey hair, i think you'd have been pulling it out!"

"Or maybe the two of you would be more acquainted with my paddle
than you are at this point," I shoot back at my daughter
lightly.
