I was having dinner on my deck tonight when the song “Dancing Queen” began playing from the unit next door. Nicole, a single mother and her 5 year old daughter Megan live there. They almost always keep to themselves. Megan seems unusually shy and quiet. And Nicole is a bit of a germaphobe, so Megan is never out in the courtyard playing with the other kids.
After listening to the song more intently, I figured out that they were doing a workout tape. And as they got into the next song (Knock Three Times, by Tony Orlando and Dawn), they started to sing and laugh. And by the time they got to “Some Kinda Wonderful”, they were in a full-on joyful mother daughter moment that was so exquisite, I could actually feel it.
Motherlove…there is nothing like it!
