I cried during Rebecca swimming class! (just for a second, and I was all wet so no one noticed) She had these floats under her arms and the teacher was teaching them to how to jump into the pool by themselves. The floats kept them from drowning (good thing). Anyway, I looked up at her beaming face (so happy at another step toward independence) and in a flash I saw the same face that looked back at me in the hospital the day she was born! I just had this rush of love for her, so beautiful, so happy, so pure and so brave. (yes, I knew she was brave the day she was born!). It was just a split second but I could see the baby, the girl and the woman to be, all in a moment. And it overwhelmed me to the point of tears! What a great experience! Thank you Jesus for making me a mom! (oh, now I'm crying again!).
