Impact Zone

It was just an average, ordinary day. Nothing exciting was happening. Had no plans, no to do list, nothing on the agenda when on four hours notice I decided to take a two day road trip. Didn't know why but knew I should go. Somehow I ended up visiting my family. That is where the inspiration for this next post came from.

Walk in the door
The house goes silent
For only a moment in time
Then chaos ensues
The "How are yous"
The "what's new`s"
They never get old
This spur of the moment trip
A special surprise for the little ones
But best of all
The shrill shrieking
Of a nine year old girl and three year old boy
Double trouble I call them
Little feet hit the ground running
And then the impact moment
Ninety pounds of kid
Colliding with my exhausted body
The smell of freshly washed hair
The sweet scent of "Johnson and Johnson" lotion
The warm embrace of two children
I love them more than life
It's the impact zone that melts my heart in an instant
It's just like old times
It's a memory made
It's family
