Highlights

Hi honey,

Last night I was reading a magazine article, and got the idea to ask you what was your favorite thing that happened during the day.

"You mean a Highlight." you corrected me.

I'm game. "Okay, a highlight, what was your highlight?"

"My highlight was when I came home and saw you."

wow.

Later that night, when you easily convinced me to take a bath with you., I asked if you learned about highlights in school.

"Yes," you said, rather vague, "highlights are something that happens during the day."

"Something good, right?"

"Yes, Mommy what was your highlight?"

"Taking a bath with Ava." Your smile was the best response.

There are days when the mommy scale tips in my favor, and makes up for the days when it doesn't. Days when the love is so palpable, so tangible, that the imprint surrounds memories. Those are highlights of life.

I love you,
but you know that,
right?

Mommy
