A Writing Prompt for a Monday Morning!

I remember the first time I held my baby girl in my arms. I remember it like the most perfect snapshot in my mind–the little body propped up against my bent legs.

Here are some questions before you begin to write:

Who is remembering?
What is making her recall this moment?
Has something happened to her daughter?

What other questions come to your mind?

Alternately, don't conjure any questions. Just copy the prompt and begin to write.
Have fun!
