Once upon a time…

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Once upon a time there was a little boy whose mama and papa had another little boy.  The little boy was so happy.

He had someone to take care of.  Someone to play with. 

The years passed swifly, at least to mama and papa, and then another little boy was added.

The newest little son fit right in.  He soon learned to climb trees while wearing cowboy boots, that chocolate milk was the best drink ever, and how to make swords out of sticks.  The years passed swiftly, at least to mama and papa, and a little girl was added.

Four silly children, all growing up together, in a house not very fancy and not too big, but with a lot of love and a mama and papa busy working to make ends meet.  The years passed swiftly, at least to mama and papa.

There’ll be no more babies for mama and papa.  But the ones they had, they loved them well. 

Mama (that’s me) was commenting this morning on just how quickly it’s passing.  Papa (that’s hubby) said, “You’re making a beautiful painting.  And it’s almost done.”

Sad, I could be.  But a little quote comes to mind.

Don’t cry because it’s over.  Smile because it happened.  ~Melanie Swift

So I think that’s what I’ll do.  Smile.
