Brave Side

My daughter was waiting for my reply. I was secretly very worried.

But my daughter kept begging me and I could not bear to reject her.

Bravery was the most significant quality that I wanted her to possess

. Her curiosity was so strong that I couldn’t resist. I nodded slightly,

and my daughter’s frowning face slowly broke into a smile

. My response surprised my husband, who reacted with the wildest excitement as we walked towards the Skyway.

When I stepped on it, I found myself horrified by the height. I grabbed the railing, almost unable to move.

Halfway across the bridge,

I had to stop. My heart beat wildly, casting scared glances down the bridge.

My husband and daughter held my hands tightly

. I walked as though I were drunk. But their firm gaze built up my confidence and we kept going together.

“Mom, look, it’s so beautiful.” What I saw there filled my soul with joy.

The bay spread out far below me. Beyond it stood the tall and beautiful skyscrapers.

I looked down at my little girl who taught her mother how to be brave, and breathed a sigh of relief.
