I have started today’s post with a picture. On the left, there is
Lyle. Then I am standing in the middle holding our granddaughter, Lexi, and on
the right is Rooty, the A&W Bear.
Although I cannot see this picture, I can recall very clearly the
sensation of the moment when the picture was taken. It was a hot summer day –
not too hot, just a perfect temperature for summer. We had pulled up into the
parking lot in two separate vehicles. I had not seen Lexi for a few days and so
I was delighted when she and her Dad got out of their car and she reached out
her hands for me.
I held her and we walked across to where Rooty was standing at the
corner of the A&W restaurant. Little Lexi was a bit unsure of the bear at
first. With one hand she reached out to give him a big hi and with the other I
could feel her little hand gripping fiercely to the back of my shirt. As we
posed for the picture I could feel her little warm body pressed against me. You
can probably tell that I love her to pieces. What a wonderful sensation!
While I still can’t see the picture on the screen, the memory of the
moment and the feelings it evokes are clear in my mind.
