It was total chaos. Wall to wall grand children. Would we have it any other way? Endless noise, total toys, two boys, noise, girls, girls, girls. They laugh, they cry, they scream (with pain, annoyance or for no reason at all). The kitchen floor has never looked worse. There are toys every where even after they cleaned up.
But once they leave.....
Silence !
No one now crawling up into my lap, falling asleep in the comfort and warmth of the moment. No one now to play just one more game with; no one now to feed, clean up after, yell at, hug; no one now here who loves me quite the same way.
Oh yes, the love of my life is here; and yes she loves me inspite of all my faults and failures. And I love her for that.
But the silence of their absence reminds me of their presence and the presents, the gifts of their visit.
