First Crawl, then walkSafe & SoundIt was a beautiful, lazy Sunday.
Maybe it was something in the air, but she was growing restless in the house with the daily chores. From the moment she decided to go to the park, something shifted. A familiar scent lingered in her room as she rummaged her closet for an outfit.
Charles...
Laying before her was a well worn tee-shirt of his. A soft smile blessed her face as she leaned down and picked it up. Bringing it close, she could smell him. She could almost feel the warmth.
Everything seemed a blur as she went through, grabbing an album of pictures and throwing it under the stroller. Grabbing the diaper bag, she smiled, looking over everything once more. "Diapers, wipes, four bottles..." Check.
And they were off. Just the three of them. Parker, Eliza and Colette. It was only a few blocks down, so it wasn't a long harsh walk in the spring heat.
Finding ample space under a large oak tree, she sat down, facing the stroller towards her, smiling at her beautiful kids. "alright, all set. Okay..." She sighed, sitting down and leaning back against the tree.
Hard part now was figuring out where to start. They were only six months old... How could she possibly remind them of their father?
