Wide Eyes of Surprise

It was a success. All the hard plans, all the coordination, all the secrets, what a joy to see the wide eyes of the birthday girl on approach to baggage claim not knowing entirely what the baggage being picked up.
Arriving well before the sun rises, checking the bags, removing the shoes, security, ah finally the approach to the gate. Flying, flying, flying, landing at last. Anticipation, finally the car approaches, the ear to ear smile, the tears of joy and surprise. Yes, it was a success!!
The week was full of lots of hugs, laughing, of course coffee and more coffee. Yes the mother/daughter week was one to remember.
My wish came true, that of all mother's round the globe, to bring joy and happiness to our children. I am blessed to have made a safe journey and spend time with one of my kidlets.
