The girls and I where at the shops and I was looking for some basic thongs for camp next week when I realised Emily wasn't standing right next to us as she should have been.
It doesnt matter how many time as a parent it happens to you those moments are always awful, its an instant stomach tightening sick feeling.
I called for her and started my search but I didnt have far to look.
Miss 8 was sitting in the next aisle surrounded by shoes and was gazing at her feet with a mixture of amazement and adoration on her face. Barely looking up at me she breathed 'Look at these mum'.
She had a pair of pink high heels on.
I so wish I had a camera with me to catch that moment, her expression, the light in her eyes.
There was no way I could leave there without those shoes for my little girl.
They aren't my style, and not something I would normally buy for her but that moment and those shoes are one of those beautiful memories we will always have.
It was a moment where a little girl got exactly what her heart desired, and a mother remembered that her little girl was growing up.
I love you baby girl so very much xxx
