Standing By to Stand By

I came in this morning, after I dropped off Little Bit, to write a nice long note. During our ride Little Bit asked me a very serious question.

Sadly, I haven't the time, and if truth be known, the will to write of the conversation since I should give it due consideration.

I'm tired. My sleep isn't all that peaceful to begin with, and business (thank God) has increased proportionally with the Christmas music and hung Holly.

The reason I'm able to post this note, you ask - my door is locked and I'm still at work on my first cup of coffee. So, please bear with me for a few weeks.

I will make an attempt, as time allows, to post little items as the day wears on, no promises. I must admit, Little Bit's question chews at me; I should write it before the conversation fades. Nothing bad, just a serious question from a rather serious little girl. I have taken a few written notes.




Take care.

Stephen

  3. Rob, thank you. I just wanted my friends to know it's hard to sit and write a long piece during the 'season.'

    HH, thank you. She is my heart. I didn't know it was possible to love a child as much as I do her until she came into my life.

  4. Stephen my friend, take all the time you need.
    Kids can at times, ask some really hard questions. And it can be a real bugger trying to give them an answer. Hope it works out.

  5. Flier389, very true and thank you. I gave her a quick answer, sorta of a white lie. You, I'm sure understand why...my hesitation in writing of our conversation, which shall be the truth, is the subject of my mortality. Words which she might one day read. It must be written with a soft touch...

  6. I'm sure you handled the short answer to her question very gracefully, she is your heart. When she reads these words one day, she will understand your feelings for her. And the fact that you gave her the truth when it was the right time!
