My child is now thirteen and everyday I realize how beautiful she's become and how interesting.

I took her to dance tonight (modern) and afterwards she and her teacher invited me in so she could perform a solo for me. I hadn't realized she had gotten so good. I was a modern dancer and I never wanted to jinx my passion around it by telling her she really should do it, or that I hoped she would love it. She just decided on her own one day that she would.

And then tonight, I watched her dance, because she was proud of herself and wanted me to see. And she was so incredibly beautiful and I was just so fucking proud.

I sat by the mirror and cried and she bent over me and hugged me like she was the mama and we both smiled.
