40 Good Having Kids Answer


I'm not normally the sentimental type but...

Having busied myself tidying Alex's bedroom I drew the curtains. I then
turned and decided to shake some creases out of his duvet. As I pulled the
duvet it disturbed his music box, in which he has shown renewed interest
and had left in his bed.

The mainspring had just enough twist in it to play one final note. There,
in the halfdark of the room a single plaintive ping cut through the
silence, and I experienced a moment of great stillness.

Then I thought of my son, and how much I loved him. I choked up with
emotion and my eyes grew moist.


BCNU, Gordon

PS Good luck for next month Avern.
