Draft 011 / the gift

I know I began swimming earlier than

this memory but I remember being in the

pool with my mom and my little

sister and trying to figure out the

frog kick. With the goggles on my

mom became a frog, bobbing her

head up and down. Watching me

try, teaching me how. I remember how

deep the water looked, imagining

dolphins and the under water world and

my mom.
