They day I sit on a porch, in front of a beautiful ass house designed by me, in a bathing suit, sipping lemonade, and laughing with my Best Friend and Sister about how my son always writes his "E"s backwards on his homework. Gazing at the sun, remembering when I WISHED for everything I now have. My Husband and daughter will then pull into our driveway, and when he gets out the car, I look at him as if I'd never seen a more beautiful creature. My daughter, missing her front teeth, but all smiles, runs to give me a hug, and immediately rushes to her room to enjoy the new toys her Dad bought her. My husband greets us with a "Hello ladies" and plants a kiss on my lips that sends the butterflies in my stomach fluttering, and tells us the game is on, so he will accompany us a little later. We proceed to the pool, in the backyard. I throw a frizbee for our dog to catch, and swan dive into the pool. I can no longer hear anything but the calm water moving through my hair, and into my ears, and I can't help but think...This is the life I've been waiting for.
Can you see it?
