Rainbows, Butterflies and Flowers
Isn't it funny how sometimes you search for something, you have no idea what it is until you find it. All of your existence, the essence of you changes, life makes sense and you wonder how you ever lived through each day without that special soul in your universe. Yesterday, whilst reading on my favourite brown sofa, C - scribe junior, strolls by and throws his arms around my neck from behind in a great big little bear hug. He then proceeded to poke one of his fingers in my eye. Lovingly of course.
Me: What are you doing?
C: I want to feel your eyeflashes.
Me: My eye flashes?
C: Yes. I want to see what they feel like.
Me: Oh. I put my book aside and hold still. And, what do they feel like?
C: They feel like rainbows, butterflies and flowers.
**For C**
Five years ago tomorrow,
An angel came into my life,
I didn't know his name,
Or how long he would stay.
My soul stopped searching,
That day that you were born.
I watched you quietly sleeping,
And though tears filled my eyes,
My heart began to hum.
Your laughter is my joy,
Your pain, my sorrow,
I wonder at the love I feel,
It's Infinity x Infinity

My children are all grown, it has been years since I had butterflies and rainbows in my day to day doings. I miss them...says she with tears springing to her eyes.
PS: Luckily it'll be a few years before he reads this blog - and then it'll be 'MUM I can't believe you wrote that!"
Your kid sounds much better then me. Even when I was a kid!

Happy Birthday C!
I do remember a few comments my children made but I am still surprised how much I have forgotten. At least I have their drawings and paintings - many are in folders, and much of it is framed and adorns the walls of my house.

@Agnes - thank you! I think he's enjoying opening all his presents today. ;)
