I was taking a walk with Catalina today when we saw young, beautiful neighbor taking her trash out. WE commented on how pretty she was, and then Catalina said: when I grow up, I don’t want to have a husband. I want to be independent, and travel, And be just like her. Take my own trash out and see a kid riding her bike and then just be on my own. And then she said:but wait, then you won’t have grandkids. I was starting to tell her that she can have kids on her own, when she said: no wait, Ami will have kids, os you will have grandkids.
First, I felt a heartbreak that I am not a good model for her, that our rocky marriage does not inspire her to have one of her own. But maybe it’s for the best. Maybe she knows herself better and she'll do it all by herself, teach herself how to be on her own. Or maybe in the great scheme of things it doesn’t matter after all. But my heart stopped a little, just to be so incredibly proud at how mature she is.
MY little lady!
