When I Was A Little Girl, I Used To Try And Bring Sunshine To My Mother. I Felt So Bad That She Had Never Really Seen Or Felt It. So I Would Try And Catch It In Jars. When That Failed, I Captured Jars And Jars Of Lightening Bugs And Told Her That If We Could Catch Enough Of Them, Then It Would Look Like The Sun. She’d Laugh, Hug Me, And Then Set Them Free And Tell Me That Nothing Should Have To Live Its Life In A Cage. (cassandra)

Between The Love Of A Father You’ve Always Known And One You Know You Can Depend On Forever Versus A Love That’s New And Untested. But You Know What I Learned?
