Last night my niece took her first step...
It was the last thing we expected.. we were all there, playing with her. She would crawl, sit and clap her hands. Then she would look around and make sure everyone else was clapping too. She did this like 37 times and each time it made us laugh.
Then, all of a sudden, she stood up straight on her own and started clapping. And then she took a step forward...
For a moment, the world seemed to come to a stop... in that split instant I actually felt my heart skip a beat before it started beating faster. In that one moment I felt fear, joy, pride and heartbreak, all at the same time. And for some reason I don't understand, tears came to my eyes.
All this happened in a fraction of a second. She took one step forward and then fell down.
We looked at each other and realized all 4 of us had felt the exact same feelings in that frozen slice of eternity. It was just beautiful... one of those "moments" I will never forget.
