barking at the moon
the other night i was on the couch and my daughter,
who lives three hours away, sent me a text.
“can you see the moon?”
it was the moon in this picture but about three hours later.
and that moon, the one that she sent me the text about,
hanging low in the sky like a perfect golden pendant,
was so worth getting up off the couch to see.
but mostly, i loved that she knew that,
and thought of me.

Isn’t it great how daughters can sometimes know our minds??? You must have a truly special relationship. Sweet!!

I love how you’re able to share moments like that with your daughter. If I called my mom and told her to go look at the moon, she would have just said, “Oh you go look at it and tell me all about it.” Sigh. I think I was found under a cabbage leaf.

Big sigh. That is so sweet and what a gorgeous moon to share with each other.

Knowing that someone has thought about me unprovoked really lifts my heart. When they go out of their way to share a special moment in time with me, well – words can’t capture the Love that expresses. Thank you for sharing your moment with us.
@Cristina ~ if you WERE found under a cabbage leaf, I’ll bet it was magical, and glowed the most vivid shade of green ever imagined …

OMG. Reading back, these posts just get better and better. Lucky you that you have her. And she as well.

Love this post. It’s the kind of text my daughters would send me. I’m so glad they appreciate things like the moon. Like you are. 🙂

I love these sweet little posts…just a little thought here and there, paired with the most exquisite photos. The moon awash in all that purple…so dreamy.
