Thank You For Days Gone By

This old gal…

Missed her girls the other day…or more like missed the days…of the girls…not for long…just a brief pang…a little nostalgia…

This husband and I ended up at Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch…hadn’t been there in like forever…probably last time had three teens in tow…

Not very busy…but food took forever…this old gal ran out of things to say…usually banter is endless…one of us can yap on and on about nothing…while Mr. Gentle soul…humors his wife by nodding…

But this day it was quiet…and quiet is ok…but at BWW…with three girls…it was always anything but quiet…and there it was…the pang…missing that constant chatter about school…and friends…and this and that…it was just us…being us…laughing…teasing…complaining…sharing…

In a booth nearby…a mom and her two preteens…watched videos while they ate…barely looked up…didn’t talk…didn’t interact…

The pang passed…this old gal suddenly feeling blessed…thankful that she was given a time…to miss…when the table was raucous…chatting endless…food lifted from other’s plates…and girls…were just being…girls…
​
And I bet…those ladies of mine…agree…
