She burst through the door and I swear sunshine followed her.
she always smells sweet, even if she has been digging in the dirt for an hour.
"Mom! Im a girlscout." she smiles and she shines because of it.
I try not to let my mind settle on the fact that I missed her first meeting because of work.
I pick her up and settle her on my stomach. My arms wrapped beneath her bottom.
"YOU! Are perfect." I say. I am in love with my daughter. Her giggles alight my own.
I snuggle her into my neck.
I smell her hair. It is cool from the wind.
My eyes tickle with unshed tears and I hug her closer.
She settles back and looks down at me. Her hair and mine mingle.
Eyes so blue. Crystal clear. she has my mothers eyes. Ice eyes..but warm and sparkly.
"I love you Emma ElizaMIDGETbeth."
"I love you mommy."
She smiles down on me still.....
And then....
She farts on my arms.
"EW!" I wrinkly my nose and hold her away from me.
She giggles and between gasp of breath she exclaims. "Moooooooooooom! You squeeeeshed me TOO tight!"
