Violet

Sweet girl
You know all the best stories

The cute boy who broke my heart
The cute boy who won my heart
The cute boy who came back from the army two weeks too late
The stolen kisses

The graduation jubilation
The wedding dress
The honeymoon
Half Dome
Long weekends to the coast, the mountains
`
The babies
The car seats
The toddlers
The preschoolers
The boosters
The big boys
The tweeners

“Time After Time” on the radio after middle school drop off
The times I sobbed like a baby

Groceries and furniture
Bikes and camping gear
Home improvement projects
Instruments and sports gear
Neighborhood kids
You carried it all

Most of all, you carried me, Sweet Girl
Thanks for the memories.
