Love You Forever

​This old gal…

Rode the bus in DC…by herself…was reminded of the book…Love You Forever…by Robert Munsch…a delightful children’s book…that shows a loving mother…nurturing her child through life…and in return…her grown child…taking care of her in her elderly years…

So Ginger and Smidge…heading to the Holocaust Museum…this old gal is to hop the bus…to the bride’s to help with wedding stuff…worried for their mother…like seriously…if she can’t remember the word allocations…how will she ever navigate the bus system…

Those daughters of mine take charge…a photo heading out…a walk to the bus stop…a tutorial of the bus line app…reminders of where to get off…encouragement on how to pull the yellow cord…to make the bus stop…

The bus beats us to the stop…an old lady running fast…two girls smiling and waving good-bye…the yellow cord pulled at the right time…

A photo snapped at the other end…the bride proud as proud…that that mother of hers…found her way unscathed…

This old gal…does know how to use Google Maps…and could have found her way…more than likely…had she gotten off at the wrong stop…

But the parallel of a child’s first day of school bus ride…and this DC jaunt…made my heart smile…
I’ll love you, forever, my girls…
​
And this heart of mine…agrees…
