Recalling that August day, makes me weep and wonder what should have been.
I remember...
Pretending we were crossing the Sahara Desert, my mom and me walking hand in hand, on scorching hot sand for what seemed like miles until we finally reached the pool.
Splashing and giggling with delight, clutching her soft skin
Bouncing on my mother's knee in the shallow end of the Jones Beach pool.
Staring into her glimmering blue eyes and at her infectious smile there was no way to know that in just ten years she would lose it all. You name it, she lost it!
The ecstasy I felt and the tenderness I received, the tenderness that can only come from a mother's love, would be gone forever.
