In Mourning

You have been with me for the past 3 years and 10 months, mostly in the afternoon. Like clockwork, you would come and give me a couple of hours of quiet and rejuvenation. The darlins' did not always welcome your presence, but once they gave in to your touch they came out happier beings. Even though I know you will be back on occassion, I miss your daily visits. I guess it is the end of an era, a bittersweet reminder that the girls are growing up and just don't need you anymore. But don't be sad Mr. Sandman, you are welcome here anytime.
