The small treasures… the memories…
Memories that give you goosebumps …make you smile…
Memories of laughter… a child voice… children playing while you work…
You remember the words they used… and you smile…
—
You remember Kim’s interest in learning how to play the piano… you remember her sitting on your lap at the piano asking you to play something… of her saying…
“I want to know what it feels like”
…and you remember Meg dancing around in her tutu… pretending to be a ballerina…
You close your eyes… as you play… and you can hear them… hear their little voices… hear their laughter … or their bickering over a barbie doll and what dress she should wear… You hear them solve the argument as one of them suggests the blue fairy princess dress…
“Play the tummy tickle song daddy!” one of them says…
…and they laugh… and they dance… and they laugh…
“Play something beautiful!”
…and they dance… and they smile… and they dance… like two little butterflies…
You smile… They are yours forever… and you feel you are the luckiest dad in the world…
Forever 5 years old…
Happy 29th Birthday Kim and Meg.
I love you always <3
