The Magic In a Moment

Forever, I will remember going to my cousin Danny’s high school graduation and while waiting outside to go in with my parents, I turned around to see a girl I knew, Barbara (whose family had moved earlier in the year,) standing on the opposite side of the glass from me. We smiled and simultaneously placed our hands on that window, mirroring each others hand gestures, before her mom called her to join her family inside the school’s auditorium.

There is still a bit of magic in that moment.
