It's the teeth.
They push and they tear both of us.
All of us. All evening, all night.
This morning I saw the new tip of white enamel and congratulated her on this latest development.
She looked at me and gave an accomplished smile showing off her nouveau grin. This whole process stretches you beyond what you believe you can bear.
"I can do all things through, Christ who strenthens me" becomes your refrain for every task.
You bear, they tear, they push you to your limits and the tears fall on everyone.
You've done this before - not always so well, but it's been done.
I'm pushing back...
pushing through the pain, rubbing away the hurt,
forging a way for her, and
triumphantly defeating those tremondous teeth.
Teething is hard on babies and moms. {{HUG}}
