It takes a whole village to raise a child...

There are many places in this world that say it takes a whole village to raise a child. Sometimes I just think how true that is and how it is hard to do it on your own sometimes...

A has been pretty emotional these past several days. I think it started with me remembering P and my anniversary... Then one after the other like a snowball effect, things started piling on her in the emotional department. I at times would just tell her to stop whining because I couldn't figure out what it was... thinking she was over some of the stuff, but then it still is hard.

Last night we got a surprise visit from people she loves and had a sleepover. It was not planned, but really good for her. The morning was spent with Uncle A and Aunt T. It was good to have the village here. For her morning journal, A wrote how she missed Dunkin Donuts with daddy... the question of the day was what do you miss most about daddy? She cried when the couple left, so what did mommy do... take A out for Dunkin Donuts.

She's been wanting a lot of cuddling and mommy...

This post is a request for prayer for my little girl. I wish I knew everything that was going on in there... I wish she knew how to express it, but please pray for the both of us that we could deal with this together...
