loving shock...

today it was

snowing

and blowing...

.

and downright frigid

the first for us

in cleveland

this year

i did not get out of the store

until well after six

and then i had to run

to the post office and

the grocery store

my body hurt and

my head was aching

it was almost 7:30 when i opened

the garage door

i had to do a double take

blink my eyes

three or four times

standing before me was

my oldest son

on a clear garage floor

he was even directing me to pull in

on the clean floor

i couldn't do it

not without taking a picture first

it has been three

long, cold, snowy years

ever since we had to move

the contents of the entire house

out here

after discovering

the great water fiasco of '07

the day the family room

became a swimming pool

it will seem so strange

to be able to get right into

my car in the morning

no scrapping ice off the

car windows

no need to preheat for ten minutes

such a treat

i'm in shock really

love that son of mine

thanks tj
