A Mother's Legacy

I've heard somewhere that the only thing that will undoubtedly pass from mother to daughter is guilt.  That it is inescapable, palpable, and inevitable.  Well, that's often true.  However, I think sometimes we're given a blessed hiatus from this crushing feeling of not being a good enough, creative enough, or "involved" enough.  I had one of those today.  It was called I'm-almost-nine-months-pregnant-and-I'm-exhausted-so-I'm-letting-movies-tend-my-daughter-this-afternoon-do-you-have-a-problem-with-that-Buster?  It's very effective.
