Déjà vu

In response to the Writer's Island prompt on March 21 2008.

She held the tiny arms of her daughter as they enter the school together. She could not believe that she now has a kid who is to start school. She remembered three decades back, when she waved her mom goodbye from the school bus window. Tears were streaming down her cheeks and she was screaming to be home. Life had been fine to her. With whatever setbacks she faced, she was able to make some of her mom's dreams come true and she was very happy and relieved at it. Today, when her own daughter is taking the first step into the world of education, she dreams of what she wants her daughter to become. Suddenly she stops in her mind and smiles. After all these years, she realized her motive in life. She is going to help her daughter achieve her own dreams.
