Seeing the new snow out the kitchen window this morning, wasn't really
surprising. As I was standing there missing the sunny sky, a memory came
to mind. A wonderful memory, which warmed my heart and made me chuckle.
Due to the sun actually shining, I had opened all of the living room
curtains, two weekends ago while the GRAND kids were here. At one point,
Mr. Elliot was standing next to me up on the yellow couch. He leaned
out towards the bay windows and was looking around. Suddenly,
he literally pops back in towards me and with scrunched up eyes and a
puzzled expression asked me, "Grandma, who turned light on? Who turned
light on?!". With a gleeful laugh I had answered, "God did. He turned
the sun on." "The sun on?!?" he asked, with even more puzzlement in his
adorable little face. "Yes, the sun is shining. We haven't seen a lot
of it around here this winter, have we?" He had then leaned out towards
the windows again, but only took a quick look before popping back again,
then while climbing down off the couch, started asking where his
'glasses' were. Very quickly he was back, with his sunglasses on (upside
down of course ;-p!) leaning towards the windows again. "Better!" he
declared.
Oh Mr. Elliot, you yourself are a ray of sunshine.
Just that memory of you, is warming my heart this morning. Counting down
till when they are here again. . .
