Purple Umbrella

There it sat, tattered and bent, semi floating on top of his pool. I felt my blood start to boil and I could feel my cheeks get hot. Before I could even take a couple of breaths he flashed me a wink and jumped into his pool. The only thing that I could now see was flecks of blue and green and an ocean of eyelashes. How could I be upset now! Great! Then it happened, he flashed a smile and it was all over from there. I totally forgot about that worthless umbrella and the only thing that I could see was pure joy beaming from this beautiful child. My once perfect purple umbrella had no meaning, in fact, I would buy him three more to destroy. I realize that material things have no importance to me. Everything that I do, that I work hard for is my family. Otherwise there would be no reason to work at all. Moments like these make me realize how blessed I am and that the sacrifices that I make for my children allow me to have these moment. Afterall its more fun to dance in the rain than run from it.

Until next time,
