One week...gone so fast...too quickly...I closed the door as grandpa took them to the airport, the trunk of the car stuffed to the gills with new toys to brings home...the rest grandpa will send out this week...I closed the door and cried.
cried for the missing of them
cried for the missing of my son as a little boy
cried because I can't go with
cried because it's going to take me a week to get this house back in order.
Sweet, sad, and funny (last line!) at the same time. Suz, your Wednesday poem "OUT THERE" is just freakin' fantastic! I love it!
