on me, my family and my City

Ramblings of a dyed in the wool liberal optomist.

Lightening in a bottle

Megan is our first grand daughter, just two years old. She is much different than our grandsons. Precocious and demanding….she loves the spotlight. Did I mention she is just two?

She and her parents have been staying with us for the past two weeks and it has been quite an experience. Watching the parents laugh and play with their first born took me back a few years. I got the shivers a few times because as it sounded all too familiar.

Well tonight after dinner the three of them went home. Their house has been renovated and painted and they are all anxious to get back to their own beds and lives.

We have been enjoying the numbing silence for the past three hours. No one talking, laughing, running around. No giggling, no one flitting about like the fluff of a daisy.

I was just on my way up to bed and passed by my Meg`s bedroom. I poked my head in and saw the empty crib…..I miss her already.
