this morning #707.

this morning, it was only because of a sudden, out-of-character spurt of unconditional love just last month that she was now in a position to ask her daughter for a much-needed favor. how fortuitous! because she’d been nice for the first time in some time, she wasn’t forced to fend for herself all by herself. of course, helping hadn’t been her initial intention but, when she’d learned through a friend that her estranged daughter was down on her luck, some maternal instinct kicked in. she reached out & did what she could to prop her girl up. this was a new dynamic, one that placed her in a position of power for once. that dynamic wasn’t destined to last. now she was the one who had to ask.
