Motherless

While working at the Clinic today, in my usual spot at the front desk, I heard a mom reassuring her daughter on the phone.  She said, "Everything will be fine, Honey.  It's okay, it will all be fine."  All of the sudden, I had to fight back the tears.  Oh the things I would give to hear my Mother's voice again, saying that to me.  How much I need that right now.  Some aches never go away.
