One day, years ago, my girl and I were talking. It was a sweet moment...I was so keenly aware of time marching on. I was looking into her eyes. She was looking into mine. I focused on burning the moment into my memory.
We sat that way for a long time. I thought about her. Her beauty. Her kindness. I wondered who she would become. What she would be like in a few years. I wondered what she was thinking about. Was she thinking about me? Wondering what I was like as a girl? What was holding her interest for so long?
"Mommy?"
"Yes, Peanut?"
"Know what?"
"What?"
"I can see myself. Your eyes are like mirrors."

we had that moment too.
she said on my lap, i can see myself in you.
priceless.
You are deeper than an ocean. I love that about you.
Love this. Have you heard Martina McBride's song "In My Daughter's Eyes?" This moment reminds me of that.
