Important Words

Conversations with my grandson

By Callie HouseholderPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

Mumzy!

__I

Mumzy, Mumzy, Mumzy!

__Yes?

Bubbles and laughter

My heart ___ I can't

Whatever I was going to say lost importance

Everything is brighter with his light

His smile

His laugh

"Mumzy, I love you."

I remember now

"I love you too"

Totally not what I was ready to say

The most valuable words were spoken

~~~~~~~~~

Talking to my grandson and having him as my biggest fan is one of the greatest joys in my life. I wrote this after a short call when he was so excited to talk to me I couldn't get a word in.

I have been writing since I learned to write. I didn't believe anything I wrote was enough to share. However, I think now that even if only one person can hear me and feel they are not alone, that is enough.
