just because i don't want to forget this memory.
-
at 6:57am this morning, colin called me from the bottom of the staircase, "mom come upstairs quick."
i was in the kitchen, first cup of coffee in hand, just finished packing the lunches.
i was not ready to hear these words, tackle a large bug, capture a gecko or stop an overflowing toilet yet.
i quickly ran up the stairs, mentally preparing myself for whatever "quick" could possibly mean this early in the morning.
and there was colin in his bedroom pointing out his window.
"look"
and just out east, beyond the neighbors rooftop, was the early morning sky filled with shades of pink, red, blue and purple mixed in with the clouds.
"its beautiful, isn't it?" said colin.
"yes it is - Gods painting early today" i replied.

just because i don't want to forget this memory.
just because i don't want to forget colins appreciation for a morning sunrise.
just because i don't want to forget the simple things that bring a smile.
just because i don't want to forget the beauty of nature.
just because i don't want to forget how my day started today.
