the iron bed

favorite daughter has moved out today and she's taken with her the beautiful, white iron bed my mama and dad bought me in a new orleans' antique store on one of dad's business trips. i have had many an "iron bed talk" on that bed and it will be sorely missed, silly as that may sound.   'course i'll miss the beautiful daughter that sleeps on it, too.

we'll continue our prayers just as much as when you lived with us for 21+ years little patootie, lilly bubs et al, because you'll always be the one we sang lullabies to years ago. to borrow a phrase, i'll love you forever, i'll like you for always, as long as i'm living, my baby you'll be.

see you when the sun comes up.

Life with kids is like a whirlwind that swirls through the house...and when it has passed, we find ourselves staring at the aftermath, wondering and a little bit tired. I am excited for you that you are heading toward your new future with all the cool things God has planned for you!!!!
