::  while everyone else was out gathered at the campout today…eian and i both fell asleep…

and when we woke up…and still all groggy…we went out and snuggled in his daddy’s “special” chair…under gramma’s tree

and i gave him the cinnamon and sugar donut that his daddy had brought to tempt me…and watched over the top of his little tow head as he munched and munched…and sprinkled sugar all over him and blankie and me…

and i took lots of deep breaths each time the cool breeze swept past…and cried a little…and kissed the top of his head a lot…

and i told him, “i love you”…and he said he “loves me” too…

and as he munched…i thought…back over this whole blurry past six days…

and as the breeze picked up again…one particular moment that blurry last tuesday came into focus for me

the one when my honey and i were sitting out under her tree at the end of that day…just unraveling…and piecing together…and making sense of it all…

and while we sat…a wispy little wish…from i’m not sure where…came floating right on by in front of us…

and i watched it continue to drift past slowly…and then start to lift up…

and i kept my eyes on it as long as i could…as it drifted higher and higher up into the sky…and then, finally, altogether up and out of my sight…

and more tears blurred my eyes…that moment that tuesday…and again today remembering…

and i just hugged my eian even tighter…and kissed him again…

so thankful for that sweet wee little memory…and now for this new one with him…
