A Gift to Numb All Pain






I read today that “…one should never say no to a gift from a child.”

Twenty-two years have passed since I changed your first diaper; and, a decade ago I told you my last good bye. 

I have learned much since then. Sometimes about others; often about myself.  But I have not asked that questions that start with “Why?” I do not know if I can do much if I knew the answer.

But I have learned that many things happen for no reason.  They brighten one’s life or destroy it into a new unknown. Things happen because they are expected to happen. Even when unexpected, they keep on happening.

So, I learned to keep on walking, even if in a different way. In a different place. Among new people. 

Because I once received a gift from a little girl with hazel eyes.
And that is enough for me.
