There is this time at my favorite Chinese restaurant that she and I are sharing a bowl of chop suey.
She told me to save her the bean sprouts. Now have you ever heard a request like that? I never had, but I had no objection.
I said, “I will save you all my bean sprouts, baby, and she smile at me that’s all I wanted.
She said she loved me.
I said, “I know, Princess Leia”
And she laughed. Smiles aplenty and cheeks all red; eyes squinted up like staring straight into the sun.
I said, “Dear, one day you are going to realize how beautiful you really are and you are going to leave me for someone much better looking, someone with more money, or a guitar.”
“No. Well maybe,” and she giggles. “But no one will have loved me more.”
We were standing in the billing line and I grabbed her hand.Dear princess till now you have not told me the reason for the wonderful treat and a golden evening with you? Again her magic smile…she told me to lift her up…in my hand she with the arms open like a butterfly…baby are u flying?
She whispered in my ear am I not heavy? I am three months now.
A little boy two carts back said, “Mommy, look,” and mommy said, “Love.”
