Yesterday, I watched the movie Barbie with my friend, Marina, my daughter, Rachel, and Rachel’s friend, Olivia. The girls had already seen the movie. I was excited to go but not sure what to expect.
Well, I laughed and cried, remembered and thought. And any movie that makes me do those things? Well, I classify it as good. There was a lot to process mixed in with all the fun and I will see it again. 💗
The following line struck a chord.
“We mothers stand still so our daughters can look back to see how far they have come.” Ruth Handler
Hop, Skip, and Jump
Tiny feet begin
To wobble
Their way out
Into the World
Each step
Bringing
A bit more
Confidence
A glance back
After each
Milestone
With a sly grin
And quick wave
Look at me, Mom!
Fall down, get up
Hop, skip, jump
Until steps
Turn into miles
And smiles
Turn into years
And I remain
Standing
Proudly watching
As you learn to fly

What beautiful words about being a Mom (and now, a GIGI!). I was on the fence about seeing the movie; but after your words, I think I want to see it! I’m going to carry on with my day now that I’ve found and read “Simply Sunday”. God bless you, my friend. Praying daily and sending love and hugs! 💕🙏💛
