Rummaging through old photos this morning I found a picture of my mother from when I was a child. I stopped and starred at it for longer than I realized. Her long, red hair hung draped over her shoulders. Her fair, taut skin glowed and her green eyes sparkled. She wore a white sweater and a bright smile, her mouth gaping open indicating a laugh.
I smiled.
As a child my mother would dance and sing in the kitchen around holiday times or parties. It was a constant source of contention to hear her sing in the kitchen while I watched the Cosby show. My friends thought it was amusing. I thought it was embarrassing.
Watching her sing and dance to Chaka Khan’s “Through the Fire” while cooking pancakes was a mild form of child abuse.
But looking at her now in the photograph I realize she was singing not because she was crazy—but because she was actually happy. Both her parents were still alive so she let herself act like someones child. I haven’t seen her sing like that in years.
I’m taking my camera with me today. I want to document life while I can still sing and dance and act like someone’s child… not because I’m crazy, but because I’m happy.
aww……..i love you and I don't even really know you 🙂 You are amazing! GO YOU!
LOVE it 🙂
time goes so fast
This is beautiful, and a reminder to shut my mouth when I get annoyed by my own mother's loud singing. 🙂
Bianca – So good that you realized this while your mom is here so you can share with her! You are an inspiration to us all and I love you and your words of wisdom that you share at a young age! God has blessed you and us with you! Love you!
Ohhh sooo cute!! What a great reminder to let the joy of the Lord bubble over into songs!! 🙂 Let's live life to the fullest today… all because of Jesus!
I love this post…so sweet and simple 🙂
Beautiful 😉
I am going to sing and dance while preparing dinner tonight, in the hopes that my daughter will remember…
Wow. I am so blessed to have my momma with me still. Thank you for the reminder to enjoy being someone's child.
This reminds me of a memory I carry in the center of my heart. When I was a child my father left and my mother worked three jobs to support us. I do remember my mother being tired often. but she would always wake up with us on Saturday mornings and make breakfast. When breakfast was over I would put on my New Kids on the Block concert tape and dance and sing along. When it came to a slow song, my mom would come dance with me. I would stand on her feet and we would dance around the living room. I think of that memory often. What a blessing a mother is.
