Am I awake? I don't know am I?

For a few months now I have been struggling with insomnia, a doctor gave me a prescription for a sedative and before you knew it I was taking too much and sleeping all the time. My family already knows this, this is nothing new, but I realized there was a problem when Frances consistently when I did appear downstairs would say to me "Mommy are you awake?", in her little tiny voice.

As I have been awakening again to my life and finding my joy, she continued to ask. A few days ago she stopped asking so I must be making progress. I have not slept in three days and I am tired beyond all comprehension, but once again today Frances said "Mommy are you awake? Your not sleeping?" I had to laugh at her little eyes that see all and I said, "No I'm not sleeping right now, but I know I will again soon."
