Bad Dreams

Yesterday Evie had a visit with her mom. 

Last night I heard her crying in her sleep before I went to bed. 

(Two weeks ago when she had a visit with mom, she was crying in her sleep that night, too.)

I walked in the room and roused her enough for her to open her eyes briefly, roll over, and go back to sleep.  And then I proceeded to cry.  For just a second.  Until the cat jumped on top of her and I had to shoo him away. 

This morning I asked her how she slept ("good") and if she had any dreams last night ("no").  And I looked up to the heavens and said a silent "thank you" that she didn't remember any of it. 

Get it together, mom, get it together.  Your child needs you.
