It's Arrived


April 19th is here. 
Lucy's day. 
I love Lucy. 
I know I wrote  it last week. 
So. 
She's my daughter. 
She's the girl that brought joy to our lives. 
She brought hope to our family. 
She still brings it.
She's 15--halfway to old, she says.
The year of the "permit."

I'm scared of her growing up. 
I know what's out there. 
Not a lot of joy or hope.
She'll need to carry it wherever she goes.
