Fast Forward to 1975

Dear Mama~

Remember when I was little and I would hold your hand and play with the veins on the back of it? I would ask you why you had them and where mine were. You told me that I would get them when I got older and let me poke them again.

Mackenzie did that tonight. She held my hand while we watched the movie and I noticed she was playing with my veins. She asked why I had them and when I looked down, I saw your hands holding my seven year old baby-hands. Thirty-one years melted away as I told her she would get them when she got older.

And it made me smile.

Thanks for the memory, simple as it is.

I love you,
Paige
