Forgive Me

I opened my eyes and felt arms around me.
I turned around and saw his crystal blue eyes.
He smiled and pecked the tip of my nose.

"Good morning." He whispered.
"Good morning. I'm surprised you stayed."
"Of course I did. Didn't want to disappoint the little guy."

I smiled.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Yes?" I asked.

Elijah walked in rubbing his eyes.
He looked up at us and instantly smiled and jumped on the bed.

"YOU STAYED!!"

He pushed his way between us and snuggled into Brent's side.
Brent kissed the top of his head.

"Yeah I did."
"Mommy?"
"Yes?"
"I'm hungy."

I lightly laughed and got up.
Eli and Brent followed.

"Do you want waffles?"
"YES!!"

Eli ran in and sat at the table.
I made his waffles and put syrup on them.
He ate smiling.

I wish it could've been this way these five years with Brent...
