Happy Remarks

What was on the wall that day.

Bluebird in the garden. First one I've seen here.

Loon call across the lake at dawn.

A driver behind me waited a full minute while I parallel parked. He didn't honk.

My grandmother kept a tin of biscuits on top of the refrigerator. They were always slightly stale. They were perfect.

My dad and I have a code word for I love you. We use it in front of his friends.

My father holds my hand at the doctor's office. I'm forty-six.

My mother always said g'night, kiddo, even when I was forty. I miss g'night kiddo.

My husband forgave me for something I will not forgive myself for, yet.

My mother-in-law remembers every birthday in my family. Including the dog's.

Wet leaves on the road, all the same colors.

My grandmother's reading glasses on a chain. I have a pair now. I still slip them off and let them dangle.

Finishing a long phone call with a friend.
