A Morning Miracle

<Laying just-now awake and knowing her alarm is soon to go off, rolling over to watch her still closed eyes and seeing one small lash poised to fall>

<When the soft music starts>

“Good Morning Dear.”

“Mmmmmm,” she says. <With a smile and half-opened eyes>

“Hold still, … Okay, now make a wish”

<Pheeeeew; and just like that the lash is gone>

By now the music of the alarm is more like yelling than prompting, “Wow, it must think we’re dead!”

<Snooze>

“So what did you wish for?”

“If I tell you, will it still come true?”

“I’m not sure what the wish committee’s regs for 2020 say, or if they’ve even been approved yet.”

“Okay then, I wished for a miracle…”

<Big Morning Hug>

…

I’m feeling the truth of this miracle we’re sharing right here and right now. Thankfully, I tell her so, and we both feel the same.

“I love you,”

“I love you more.”

“No, you can’t.”

<The snooze setting on the alarm reminds us to go start the day>
