The sun was shining today. It was freezing cold, but it was still and inviting.
The kids and I went out for a stroll, something I do not do often enough over the winter months.
I entered one of those blissful mother moments. You know the ones? You gaze at your children, in my case they were running ahead of me, laughing and holding hands. I was steps behind thinking that this is as good as it gets. I was thanking the universe for the beauty before me, for the man I love, for my big pregnant belly.
I was smiling.
There may have even been tears in my eyes.
Then my Son fell on the gutter. Head first as only kids seem to be able to do.
He cried out.
He threw himself into me and when I peeled him away his forehead was already many shades of red and purple.
Back to reality I go….
