All He Wanted
All he wanted was to be with me.
He wanted to go out with me and light the tree. I hope it's not too late.
"Gus, are you awake?"
"Grandpa?" He rubs his eyes just like his mother used to do.
"You want to light the tree?"
"Just us?" The look on his
face brings tears to my eyes.
"Just us. How about we just put
your coat and boots on over your pajamas?"
"Really?" I nod and smile at the look of sheer happiness on my
grandson’s sweet little face.
There’s nothing in the world like being a Grandpa.
