WAIT!

It was scorching hot in Woodland Hills. I was poolside in a metallic micro bikini when I heard laughter coming from the mouths of young children. A middle-eastern woman carrying a glass bowl of red colored fruits and water escorted her three children to the pool. They seemed to be ages three, five and eight. As soon as she was able to open the gate to the pool the three year-old little boy took off running and jumped in before anyone could stop him. The mother screamed wait. In a panic, she dropped her glass bowl, which shattered everywhere, and dove into the pool to rescue her life-saver free child. When she climbed out of the pool with the boy in her arms she seemed embarrassed. I had gathered most of the glass for her and told her Thank God he is alright. The child continued to laugh as though he had no clue he could not swim and would have easily died in the eight feet of water he jumped into. His mother was sobbing as she helped me finish cleaning up the spill. Afterward, she sat down and watched as her children swam. All three equipped with floatation equipment. Everything could change for any of us at any moment. Lets appreciate this moment.
