Today’s prompt was to use the word fleeting in a post.
This topic reminded me of all the times we are left with a fleeting glance. In many cases, the memories of these momentary glimpses are anything but fleeting.
Mom’s waving hand as you embark on your first ever bus ride
The emotional, yet proud look your mom or dad gives you at graduation
The bob of a little blonde ponytail as it retreats the first day they walk to class alone
Her tail lights the first time she drives away from home with bags packed
The crestfallen little face from the car seat when the visit is over and she has to go home
There are many more memories like this; sometimes romantic and sometimes sentimental. They are good material for stories and poetry and backdrops to some of our most memorable events.
This was so sweet and well written. I had no problem visualizing those fleeting moments and relating to them. It was great!
Thank you so much; appreciate the kind words and the follow! Blessings!!
That’s funny how certain fleeting moments stick with you. Thanks for shining a light on things that are so plain but never seen.
