good day

last night, ashleys asks if we can do something tomorrow, just she and i. even though I knew she was going to ask (and wished i didnt just incase she didnt) i was thrilled. i ask where, she doesnt care. i dont say anything about it the rest of the afternoon, right before i go to bed i ask, how about kemah? seafood, boardwalk style games, rides and shoppes. yes, kemah it is

we leave early, drive down, have lunch -- feed stingrays. she can be such a girl, squealing when they came up for food splashing in the tank. i smile. first time ive seen her laugh in a long time.

we ride rides laughing at each others tummies twirling.

shop, look, love. time to go, traffic. stop to get water, her a cherry icee, joys of childhood.

on the way out of the store, a grab, pulls me close -- thank you for today, mom.

good day ......
