THE REALIZATION

On a Sunday morning many years ago my youngest daughter and I were waiting for my husband to get home from the golf course to drive to the airport.  Knowing we would be late, we drove off without him.  The plane carrying our married daughter had landed and the passengers were already off the plane. As they come towards us we couldn’t find her.  There was a person walking in the opposite direction and my teenager said there she is. I said “nah, that’s some woman”. She turned around and I was startled to realize my young daughter was now a woman.
