Best WOW moment ever

I dont think I will ever be able to top the wow moment I had today. I had a doctors appointment and my two youngest are out of school so they got to tag along with me. My littlest age 8 is a really cute affectionate girl who just wants love all the time. I guess over the years she has just learned that she cant do that with me. Today at the docs appointment she ran over and jumped up in my lap and put my arms around her and she hugged me.. It never dawned on me that I never sat her in my lap. I am sure it was because of my gerth that I have never really been able to have her sit in my lap... I didnt have one.. and when she tried I would always have to make her get up cause if was really uncomfortable. When she sat down with me and I got to hold her.. in my lap (with plenty of room i might add) and I could get my arms around her and it didnt hurt, wasnt uncomfortable.. i just hide my head so she would see me welling up. I think she realized it to.. she could now sit in mommys lap cause she chased me all over the place sitting in my lap. I just wanted to hold her and hug her all the more. Now, for me.. thats a wow moment I dont ever think I will be able to top.

Carla, that is the BEST wow moment!!!! Oh my gosh, I had tears in my eyes just reading it! Being able to hold and hug your child like that is just priceless. It's a feeling that you cannot describe but I totally understand! I just love those great Mommy moments! Congratulations! Deanna

Wow is right... *sniffle* Those are the most wonderful moments ever. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! Hugs, Bobbie

***sniff*** isn't that just the best wow moment. Write it down, treasure it, hold it in your heart. And when life gets tough, bring it out again. This is what life is made for - special moments just like this. My daughter aged 6 keeps measuring how much weight I've lost by how far she can get her arms around my waist - and is so pleased that her hands just touch behind my back now. We are both longing for the day when we can have a big 'proper' hug together.

*hugs* your post just gave me tears. As a mother myself....
