Words fill my soul

This morning I left the house around 7:15.  School is out and everyone was still asleep when I quietly shut the front door.  It was cold outside.  Ice on the windshield.  I crawled into the Suburban, turned the ignition and the wipers on.  I waited for the ice to melt.  As the wipers brushed away the bottom part of the ice I noticed WG6 at the top of the driveway waving to me.

I waved back and then motioned for him to get in the vehicle with me.  When he climbed up I wrapped my arms around him and held him close.  "What in the heck are you doing waving at me, outside and in your underwear pal?"  "I was waving because I love you so much." 

It's these moments I hold close when the world crowds in.  I am grateful to live, to love and to be loved.  I am grateful.
