This weekend I had a "Mothering Moment".
You know, one of those times when your heart feels like it is going to burst out of your chest cavity?
My daughter and I did a race together.
And to even make it sweeter, my mother did it with us.
It was a three generational memory.
The three of us all participated in the annual Gatormania Open Water Swim. My nine-year-old did the quarter-mile option and cheered on my mom and I while we did the one-mile swim.
Then I cheered for both of them when they placed first in their age groups.
When I became a mother no one told me about this part:
the overwhelming
love,
excitement,
pride,
joy,
and delight
when my child accomplishes something new and challenging.
WOW.
I bet it will be even double awesome when I'm a grandma and have grandkids.
I'll go ask my mom.
