Smile because it happened...

I held that seat as she grew more confident.

I shouted with joy as she caught her balance and went alone for the first time.

I helped her choose the first basket and fixed the first puncture.

Blessed.

But there is also the harder part. And knowing when makes it easier.

I gave the little bike a kiss on the handlebars.

I swore I wouldn't look back.

More than once.
