Mama’s Shoes

She puts on my shoes and tries to walk around the house. She giggles and grins, her smile going from ear to ear. And my heart melts, right there.

Some days I still can’t believe that I have a daughter. That there is this little girl in my house, and she is all mine. I watch her slip and slide, falling after only a few steps, trying to maneuver through the house in my shoes. In mama’s shoes. Some day her feet won’t be too tiny. I watch her making her way across the room knowing that too soon she will be wearing my shoes with ease.

There is a little girl in the house. Dancing around in mama’s shoes, feeling so big with each step she manages to take.

Really, who needs anything else?
