“Grandpa Was a Hero”
Conclusion
Crackles of the fire,.. Pulled her out of the drifting slumber…, just in time she could hear ..his horse….
With a smile forming on her lips,… she sat still,… waiting… Is that You Cowboy? She ask as she heard
The door open… she didn’t hear an answer,… but, she felt two hands on her shoulders….
I hope you kept that fire warm for Me…. Beautiful? It’s warm Cowboy , but if that doesn’t do it…
I think I know another way to warm you….? Is that a fact …he ask. Oh, Cowboy… You Know That’s A Fact! Pulling her to her feet… co’mere Woman! I’ve rode a Long way ..just to Hold you …..
Is that all you want to do…is Hold me Cowboy? Kitty , I..I.. couldn’t wait to get here….to hold you
To kiss you ….Can We……
Slowly, he slid the shawl off her shoulders… pushed the hair to the side.. burying his face in her neck..
Kit, I need you… want you…. I missed you Cowboy… But, you’re here now!
He didn’t even wait … he tossed a blanket from the sofa in front of the fireplace… place a pillow from the chair under her head… and the Two …even after all these years … The love poured from One to The other.
The passion as strong… as the first time… it was once again, The blending of Mind, Heart, Body and Soul!
The Sun was coming up across the White Crisp Snow ….. Beth and Mary were headed down to start breakfast.. for the family… Beth , Momma lit Daddy’s Lamp again last night… I know… Mary she’s done that for as long as I can remember… it’s their thing. The boys keep her up late last night..? She enjoyed it.
She was still up when I went to bed she wanted to sit awhile… Beth , do you think when we’re their age we’ll still love like that? I don’t know But, I sure hope so….
Mary walked into the living room… Momma… your down? Kitty didn’t answer.
Mary walked over to her…. Momma did you sleep here all night? Mary touched her shoulder
Kitty didn’t move… Beth!…Beth!…quick….. Beth came thru the door…what is it mar?
Mary looked at Beth with tear filled eyes….. Then looked over at the lamp.. it was out…
The two girls stood in front of Kitty….. Then they knelt down in front of her…..she had a Smile on her face…. They looked at each other .. Then Beth said: OH, Momma! Daddy came Home for You …..
Mary , She’s happy .. She’s waited 5 years …
Daddy came Home for her… Their together Again!
For Eternity!
