The OTHER mom

 Mine when I was 2, a little kid,  was Marilyn. Paint my nails, make me a white sugar sandwich, and tell me I was OK.  Tell me mom would be OK too. She showed me the mom stuff I didn't get at home.  We grew up with death happening right in our homes. My daddy died and her little girl died too. Side by side in our neighborhood. My bigger family was far away, Marilyn was right there. She stayed close to me for the rest of her life. I could never replace that connection. When you get that supplemental parent, the validation for the stuff unacceptable at your own house comes into focus. It turns out it is normal, or something to consider. I needed such support to expand into what I am today. Learning to trust the expansion, without prejudice is critical. Do you have an extra overlighting human. One who can add in to what you need, but can not find at home. Hannah said after our ride, I KNEW I needed YOU! I have been MAMA SU to many. Try it, find someone looking. They are out there, and they are being fished and caught, by those who do not wish them well. Power siphoned off by those who see a good human in need. It is time to take our love here and share it with those super power kids. They need to know that all is well, and yes, they are welcome here and needed! See ya on the golf course, it is a good day to play.
