I got to thinking about a sunny and warm Sunday afternoon in April some years ago. On a whim, Uyen and I drove into Helena for brunch at the Mediterranean Grill.
We found ourselves sitting next
to some friends. Our friends had been
joined by another couple with a five-year-old girl. The little girl smiled the whole time we were
there. And she poked at her own flowery
dress because she knew the dress made her look pretty.
As you might imagine, watching
the little girl made Uyen smile, too. For
the whole time we sat in the sun-washed restaurant, I basked in sunlight and the
smiles of two pretty girls.
“That’s a good kind of day,” I thought
to myself as I reflected on that afternoon.
I could use more of those.
