The candy today is bittersweet. We came to the end of our stay with Chris, Yvonne, Calvin and Emmett. The joy and happiness of the past week will live in us forever. The time passed too quickly. But we must return home.
The limo picked us up. Through the open window we wave our goodbyes to Cal and “M”. Showers of kisses are blown to us with tiny hands. A tear fills the eye this soon-to-be old man.
The gentle tug of the baby’s hand, their calls of Grandma and Grandpa, the pleas to be picked up, the races around the house, and on and on – these memories will live within us always.
As swift as these cherished moments flit by, so does our life’s journey. The approach of that 70 and beyond is certainly being sweetened by the memories.
Ciao
