For years, I prayed in bed.
Please, God, make Mommy stop drinking.
I find adulthood great. We often associate this stage of life with responsibilities and obligations, contrasting it with the vaunted notion of being a child at heart. We forget that a sense of wonder is not exclusive to youth.
Being an adult also means enjoying the privilege of choosing whom we spend time with, and of changing the things we can.
