One moment I remember was in a shopping mall. A young boy and what I presumed to be his grandmother were sharing an ice cream. They were sitting close and snuggling while enjoying their treat.
Another, was a young girl, probably no more than five, holding hands with her totally tall daddy. She being so little and he being so tall caught my attention.
I love that--"pet the dog" moment! What a good description.
I'd have to think about this. I love kids, especially 4-year-olds (I did teach that age in a preschool for 4 years of my 10 years of teaching) and also wrote a lot of curriculum for that age. I'm tuned into what they say, do, their faces. It warms my heart when they have that sparkle or ginger-peachy look in their eyes.
A great description of the moment to put us right there!--hey, you must be a writer! (LOL)
I see things like that at shopping mall's too, Mary-Louise. Since our house is overrun by kitties, I try to mix it up every so often and find something new to awe me.
Yes, Crystal, my pet the dog moment is something I love to sprinkle in several places. It can be an expression in a child's eyes, the hug of a horse, the rescue of someone in need. How many ways we can spread the love, and show the love of our characters.
um.... i have 2 nieces and 2 nephews. and as it happens, i babysit a lot. but i enjoy taking them out because theyre all so cute in their own ways and they all get peoples attention. especially the girls. one looks like with her crazy curly hair and olive skin. the other one looks like my kid sister with dark hair and porcelain skin. so we get the 'aww ur daughters look just like you!' routine. we just smile and thank them and dont bother correcting them. :)
Aww, Ruby, you get a lot of those awe moments. I'm so glad. Children are the best to bring out that special, heart-tugging experience.
when i held my nephew for the first time. that was five years ago and i still remember that moment. he was tiny but his eyes were so big. he looked into my eyes and that was it, i was a gonner. the same happened with nephew #2.
I think the children have it, don't they? I wish I could have seen my stepson's baby when he was born.
The first time I held each of my children was an AWE moment for me. For our oldest child, he was 10 months old, and for our twin girls, they were 19 months old. We adopted our children from Eastern Europe in 1999 and 2002. Even now, as I type this, we are approaching the anniversary of their adoption, and my eyes are welling up with tears at God's hand in bringing our family together.
Most definitely an AWE moment, Carol.
