The Present
Audrey Lynn Ryan had seen a lot during her 68 years of life. She's had more tragedies and heartaches then some people could ever imagine. There were happier times too even thought it seemed at times the bad ones outweighed them. She been married for 46 years to a wonderful man, often times a stubborn one too. And they had 6 amazing kids..there were seven…more on that later. Now a days she divided her time between her grandchildren and her church.
She smiled down at the album on her lap. Pictures of birthdays, little league, Proms, and other things. It seemed like only yesterday she held each of kids in her lap, now they were older and head families of their own. My how the years. She turned the page and tears gathered in her eyes. Her wedding picture, they were so happy that day. They had a wonderful marriage until under certain circumstances it…… more on that later too. He passed 4 months ago, and it hurt everyone a lot. She didn't grieve long even though she missed his touch and voice. She needed to be strong for the kids and grandkids.
"Hi nana".
Audrey looked up and found a little boy to be about 6 standing in the door way, with brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, not to mention the big toothy grin.
Audrey smiled and opened her arms to him." Kieran, baby come here".
Kieran eagerly approached his grandmother and she placed him on her lap. She may have been up in age but she still prove to be strong.
Kieran pointed to the photo album now in front of him." That's Poppa all dressed up".
"That was Poppa and my wedding day".
"You were very pretty".
Audrey smiled and pecked his cheek." Your poppa thought so too".
"I'm gonna be a wrestler too" Kieran said suddenly.
"And you'll make a great one, one day".
They sat there like that for awhile enjoying each other's company. It prompted so many memories in Audrey's head. Way back when it all began….when she met him…
Who do you think he is?
