Day 51 ~ A
Mom Moment
Feb 20,
2014
My first:
I connected with a mother sending her little girls off to school.
Is a spontaneous “first” legitimate
as a “first”? Well, this one is! I can’t NOT consider it as such because
of how it moved me.
I was on my way to work and driving
past the elementary school, Roosevelt. I spotted this young and beautiful African
American mom walking her two little girls to the street corner and then
watching as they crossed. She waved to them enthusiastically and starting
blowing them kisses one right after the other. My smile at what I witnessed
could not be contained. I could feel it lighting up my whole being. She saw that I noticed her and then, in that
wonderful moment, I saw my smile returned to me on her face. We gazed
and smiled for moments and then went on our way. I was in tears, remembering
those long ago days of being a young mom and the precious moments of loving my children.
The “firsts” that I have posted have been funny, sad, educational (for me), scary, etc. But this one
moved me beyond any other thus far. I guess the “mom” in me never goes away.
