Guest guest Report post Posted February 19, 2006 Yesterday my family went to lunch. Zoe, my granddaughter, is five now. She wanted to order the same sandwich that my wife had decided on but her father told her that was it too much for her to eat and suggested that she try something else. She cried and refused to order anything. Halfway through the meal....and a lot of tears.......I caught her eye. Some silent words spoken....she came over and crawled up on my lap. She fidgeted.....kicked her legs on the table.....I put my arms around her and then she put her head on my chest. She became quiet as we watched the rain clouds forming at the edge of the ocean. I wrapped her in my coat.......and we were warm. After a time.......there was just Zoe and me and the clouds.......and then..... there was just me......... toombaru Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
