The most beautiful thing I have ever experienced

This is just me rambing about a memory I really cherish cuz I felt like telling y'all when I remembered it a few days a go so enjoy!!!

So, one summer evening my dad, grandmother, brother and I were driving home from my grandparents house. My grandmother was talking shit about my brother and I to my dad about something I can't even remember cuz I tuned her out for most of the ride and stared out my window really just wanting to go home and escape this situation. It wasn't a terrible day but listening to her talking about us like that was not how I wanted to end it, so I just ignored it.

Once we were almost home, we got stuck at this SUPER LONG red light that takes forever to change for absolutley no reason. The sun was starting to set on my left and as I looked out my window to the right, I saw a young mother and her daughter. The mother was standing right behind her daughter who was wrapped in this hot pink and neon yellow towel that was way too big for her and that was trailing on the groud at the ends a little bit. Both of them had curly dark hair and the little girl's hair was soaking wet from the splash pad just down the street. I watched as she explained to her daughetr how to cross the street properly as she poined at various signs and  things, and how she fidled with her daughters hair in her fingers as they waited for teh light to change. 

But what really got me was how clear it was that she truly loved her daughter withall her heart; it radiated off of them as the setting sun made them sparkle on the side of the road. I remember wishing for the light to never change, for me to be able to look at them for longer. I wanetd the light to break so that I could see them for longer. I wished I could have that kind of unconditional love in my life, but unstead I was stuck im my mom's car as I listened to my grandmother blab about how trash I was.

It was such a normal moment, and I don't even know who they are, but in that moment I truly understood what unconditioal love and pure joy and innocence was. 

I wish to never forget them.
