Life

4:32 pm...

I am stopped by Reilly mid-stride in the hall.

"Mom?"

"Yes?"

"Who are those guys in the picture getting married? I don't know if I know who they are!"

"Oh, honey, of course you know who they are. That's Mommy and Daddy!"

"Oh... My daddy?"

(a kiss on top of the head.)

"Yes, sweetie, your daddy."

"Ohhhhhhhh....."

(pause)

"So that means you're his life!"

"Life? Oh... do you mean wife? What do you think, Ry-- am I Daddy's wife or his life?"
(she smiles)

"Oh, Mom, I think you are his life."

Well, it certainly could be.
I know that he is mine.
