Three Little Words - Say Them

---

This husband and I…

Strolled the streets of Gruene on Texas Independence Day…bands playing…people celebrating…Texans decked out proudly…in their red white and blue…

A family walked ahead…mom…dad…grandma…grandpa…three boys with flappy star shirts…sister sporting some red fancy boots…

They chatted while they walked…Grandpa pointing to this and that…the two littles in between…tiny hands holding tight swinging back and forth…

The place was bustling…noisy…but in amongst the joyous buzz…the words…I love you Papa…floated on the air…

Little boy on the left…eyes lifted to the man with a grip on his hand…echoing words…no party…can silence…

And so it is…in life…isn’t that what we all long to hear…isn’t that what we all…need…to hear…

Three little words…unsolicited…heartfelt…powerful…

Find your people…and say them…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
