Another slice of heaven

The rain had just stopped. The air smelt fresh and clean as I carried her to the park and set her free. She ran to the nearest puddle and jumped and splashed about in joy. I made a new friend, a fellow mom of a toddler daughter who also brought along their two sweet obedient cats. In between playing on the seesaws together, the two little girls followed the cats around. Puddles and kitty cats and the freedom and space to run around and scream to their hearts' content. The moms looked at each other. No words necessary. Because no words could really describe how happy, how content, how wonderful it is to see your child so happy, so carefree, so young.
