Today I experienced an incredible moment with my daughter. As we were waving goodbye to Matt as he drove away, Alice started sobbing. Not crying. Legitimately frowned face and tears welling up in her eyes. She looks at me and I start tearing up myself. She lays her face into my shoulder and we walk inside the house. I proceed to tell her (in crying voice) why daddy had to leave and that we will see him again very soon. We then sit in each others arms and share the same emotion with each other. Even though we were sad, this was one of the best experiences I have had with her to date. She is becoming more mature with her emotions and I am proud of her for being able to express it openly with me. 💜
I will never forget this moment, as it was our first ‘real’ mother-daughter emotion we shared with one another.
