You're Not Always Alone for the Holidays
Barley's view
While finishing the dinner May came in from playing in the snow.
"Grampa, can we give my mommy a call to wish her a Happy Starry Night Festival? "
"I think Doug will have the door to the Inn closed, so that he and Ann can have their Festival dinner in peace. So we can make the call tomorrow. "
"Oh, ok. "
I don't know why Joanna feels that she is not ready to be a parent. I wasn't ready when she was born. But I was glad she was. How can a parent ignore their child?
"Grampa, are you ok? "
"Yes May, I was just thinking about something. Thank you for asking. "
I think the reason why Joanna is afraid of being a parent, is because of the guy who is the father. He said he loved her, but when she became pregnant with May, he dumped her and left to a far away country.
"Grampa, that new horse we have doesn't look happy here. "
"Yes, but we must try to make it happy. "
"What if someone takes over the other farm? Maybe they could take care of it. "
"Yes, they could. But it must be someone who is nice. "
"Yes, they should be. "
"Now why don't you feed Hannah, while I get the table set. "
"Ok, here Hannah. Come and get the yummy, crunchy kibble. "
I had to chuckle at the humor May has. She is a kind and caring child. What more can any parent ask for? I hope I can be with May for several more years. I would like to see her grow up, to be a beautiful woman. Maybe she will marry Stu.
