Sixty-Four


Today we got good news? We had this news before, so I guess its old news repeated, but your reaction this time was different. The last time we got this news it was a bittersweet pleasure. We cried and wondered if the good news, was not so good after all. But this time, you were ecstatic, the absence of a visitor thrilled you. A flag of victory was flown from your car, and I was left standing on the sideline, holding a pair of baby shoes.

  1. The way you spring the explanation at the end is superb....brought me to tears in fact. I have been on that same sideline before. Made me wonder, "Whats so wrong with me that she would celebrate in such a fashion?" What I found out, was that it was just a show she was putting on simply because that is how she thought that I truly felt about the "visitor" Nothing could have been further from the truth.---Much love from Provo, Utah
