The Life and Times of S

I'm a big girl now, Mommy.

So I was talking to my Mom on the phone, which is pretty much a nightly ritual, last night and she said something to me that made my heart break. And ache. For her.

It was something so sweet. So innocent. My heart bled but I still laughed my head off when I told P. about it later. It was so ridiculously cute.

Something only a mother would say. Because she is a mother that misses her child, and has not had the good fortune of seeing her child grow up during the past eight years. Because I may be a career woman of almost 30, but to her I'm still her little girl. Her little toddler who held on to her arm every night in bed.

It was so cute. I burst out laughing. And then I burst into tears.
