We were about to go to bed around 11pm, and I said, “Let’s go in the pool.” So, we did it. Heck, it’s summer, why not throw in some spontaneity? Incredible under the star lit sky. She was excited by the opportunity to play. You wonder what memories stick out as a child. Maybe this one fades into the fabric of what will hopefully be a fantastic journey into adulthood. Maybe she remembers. “This one night, it was bed time, and my Daddy said, “Let’s go swimming.” We played some games, raced and shouted out things about living a great life under a beautiful sky. I can still see the moon. That was a fun time with him.” Well, you just never know. You keep doing things and hope the balance of your parenting is peaceful, loving and enlivening. All I know is she turned on music and danced her way through her shower, through getting dressed and on the way to bed. Gave me my best laughs of the day.
