Growing up and I don't care if I look like a fool

When Mia started Kindergarten, every morning we would get up together, eat breakfast, get dressed etc.  Then it would be time for her to catch the bus.  We would walk out and down to the bus stop, Mia would climb onto the bus; go to the nearest window and smile, wave, blow kisses, and flash I Love You in sign language.  I would stand on the curb and do it back to her with tears in my eyes and my heart full, we would do this until the bus was out of sight.  Now that Mia is in Second Grade, we get up and have breakfast, she gets herself ready most mornings...then we walk out to the bus together, she climbs on sits in the middle and usually has her back to the window, While I continue to smile, wave, blow kisses, and flash I Love You in sign language.  If she sees, she usually ignores me or gives me one quick wave...except, today she did all of it back to me.  My heart is full.
