My Short Short Story for the Day



“Mom, when are you going to get rid of that thing?”  Shelby asked.
“Oh, I don’t know.”  Lynn smiled.  She knew it was foolish to hold onto the car seat, especially since Shelby was graduating High School next week.  Next week.  She couldn’t believe how fast the time had gone. 
“Mom, when are you going to get rid of that thing?”  Shelby asked.
“Oh, I don’t know.”  Lynn smiled.  The past four years had been trying for Shelby but she pulled through a stronger, more confident person.   Pride filled Lynn as she watched her little girl accept her college degree.
“Mom, when are you going to get rid of that thing?”  Shelby asked.
“Oh, I don’t know.”  Lynn smiled.  Medical school had been tough and Shelby had suffered a broken heart but she had persevered with determination and a desire to help others.  Lynn’s eyes filled with tears as her little girl became a doctor.
“Mom, when are you going to get rid of that thing?”  Shelby asked.
“Right now.”  Lynn said taking the seat out of her car and installing it in Shelby’s car.  Her heart swelled with love as she hugged her very pregnant little girl.
“Thanks Mom.”
