Sometimes it’s the simple stuff that makes all the difference in the world,
Last night my husband was telling me our son had called him,
I could see from the joy on his face, something had happened that had touched his heart,
I of course wanted in on it,
We had sent our son a box for his birthday,
Filled with things he loved, small things, that he loves,
Mostly treats and notebooks and special pencils he likes writing his music with,
He’s twenty-three but he’s our child…anyway,
His dad had slipped in a bottle of new cologne,
And yesterday he called his dad, gleefully telling him how good he smelled,
He said there was the scent of vanilla, but masculine so he was going to call it
‘Manilla’…
That simple, funny exchange filled a father’s heart with joy and his face with a smile,
Which proves it doesn’t take much to say I love you or show someone how important they are to you,
Or to let them know how much what they do means,
That is exactly how I felt this morning when I got an email from someone,
Who has read all my books, even traveled six hours round trip to attend a book discussion,
I hadn’t heard from her in a while, but she sent me a note to say,
As soon as Schae’s Story was printed, she wanted her copy and to remind,
Me that she is my number one fan!
Filled my heart with joy, and allowed my overworked butt to grin at six in the morning!
How cool is that!!!
Love,
Angelia
