You’re My Heart
MY WHOLE HEART she tearfully, sincerely, heartwarming-ly wrote upon her bright, flowery stationary.
& last I looked, those little girl emotions remained tacked upon a bulletin board at her Grandpa’s house, destined to hunker in that spot until, one day, gifted back, they will be.
♥
I don’t recall what exactly happened within those walls to cause my reaction that infamous moment in time,
sibling bickering, I suppose, !! mom !! this, or waaaaaa that … but tired and mad I was
and on the ride back to the place we call home, I let my syllables fly, reminding my children how very much their grandparents LOVE THEM and how wrong it was to act so inexcusable, so obnoxious, so terrible, so …
and as the tears flowed out of that boy, girl and girl, my heart softened, I overcame my anger, and life, as it always does, continued.
& somewhere through it all … you’re my heart, my whole heart … came to be,
an authentic apology that, to this day, makes my insides turn to mush.
I tend to write about my family,
especially on birthdays
and special occasions,
earmarking their places, reserving sentences just for them
and since this 24 is the anniversary of when Child 3 entered our lives, and I will be walking among those recollections, I need to echo her priceless sentiments of
… you’re my heart, my whole heart …
’cause yep, Family, it’s true.
♥
Have a FANTASTIC day, ! C !
with BIG HUG appreciation for being so genuinely you.
