Plop. Down like a brick.
Ouch. Man, that was quick!
You giggled that giggle that warms and melts souls.
I braced for the numbness to pass.
Did I mention how heavy and hard you plopped down?
Ouch. But that’s okay. Because you are growing everyday.
Very soon. It won’t be cool. To plop on mom’s lap.
So I will take it. Enjoy the moment. For as long as it will last.
Because those moments always pass. Leaving me with the reverberation of your laugh.
Hoping I was present enough to soak in all the details that make being your mom so very rewarding.
Ah, so lovely. Happy memories. It sounds like you were really there in the moment.
