Growing up like that
-Growing Up Like that
"Daddy, look!"
At only seven years old, Marshall was quite adept at riding horses, and his parents encouraged it. He loved being able to hold onto the reins as the horse galloped through the fields behind his home.
Seth Mann smiled proudly at his youngest son. "Good job, Marshall!"
Coming back to the present, Marshall blinked and watched as the ranch hand brought the brown and white horse over to them. Beside him, Norah's eyes grew large and round.
"Daddy…"
"You can do this, princess." Mary was due to give birth to their second child any day, and he wanted to spend a little one on one time with Norah before the excitement of a new baby forced her to share the spotlight she was so accustomed to having to herself.
The horse already had the saddle on, and Marshall helped Norah onto the horse's back before he hoisted himself into the saddle with her. Once they were both situated, he took the reigns with one hand and wrapped the other securely around Norah.
She was afraid, but once the horse started moving, she slowly relaxed and began enjoying the experience.
Marshall grinned when Norah finally laughed, and he knew that he had done the right thing. His parents had given him the best possible childhood that they could, and looking back now, he could see how lucky he had been. Now he wanted Norah to be just as lucky. He would make sure that she was.
"Faster, Daddy!"
He grinned and obliged her.
He was a damn lucky man.
The End!
