“Mommy, look!” cried my daughter, Darla, pointing to a chicken hawk in the air.

“Uh huh,” I answered, driving, lost in thought about the timetable of my day.

Disappointment _______ her face.

“What's the matter, sweetheart?” I asked.

“Nothing,” my seven-year-old daughter said. The moment was gone.

Dinner, baths and phone calls filled the hours until bedtime.

“Come on, Darla, time for bed ! ” She raced past me up the stairs. Tired, I kissed her and hugged her.

“Mom, I forgot to give you something !” she said.

“Give it to me in the morning.” I said. My _______ was gone. I could hardly stay cool.

“You won't have time in the morning!” she talked back quickly.

Tears filled my eyes. When I softly touched her face, she awakened from a dreamless sleep and asked, “Why are you _______ , Mommy?”
