Little Moments #4: You'll See...

We all have them. Those memories of our moms just being moms, and thinking I'll never be like this or I'll never do this to my own kids. Then at the drop of a hat, a snap of the fingers, a blink of an eye, you are like this and you do it to your own kids. Because that's what good moms do.

I had one of these classic moments last night and into this morning. My son, now a freshman in college (oy, I still can't believe it) and I exchanged texts last night. He reached out first to ask me about some things he needed for his dorm. Trying not to (s)mother him, I try to wait until I hear from him to ask a question I want to know the answer to. This time it was about food, of course. I wanted to make sure he was eating. I can't help it. Jewish mom, ya know. Here was the exchange:

This morning, I couldn't help myself. I knew my mom would be laughing out loud if she could be a fly on the wall, and who am I to rob her of such joy? I sent her this very screen shot (above) of my conversation with my son. This is what I got in return:

I love sharing this kind of laughter with my mom. We'll forever share the bond of being two links in the same parent-child chain of love. I know how much joy she gets hearing from me about what a good mom she is. And she is. Stellar. I'm proud to be like her in any way I am. 

I live for little moments like this.
