Clear as Day

I made a peach pie and when I showed it to Gregory he replied (with excitement,) "Wonderful." Clear as day!

I told him that it was close to dinner so he could have some afterwards. "NOW," came his demand. Clear as day!

As I forked a piece of pie into his mouth, he closed his eyes and savored it! Clear as day!

After several mouthfuls I asked if we could save the rest for later, "OK." Clear as day.

His delicious dinner (I know because I tasted everything) dinner consisted of brisket, oven fried new potatoes, mixed vegetables, and devil's food cake with a cup of coffee.

After dinner we went back to the room to visit for a while. Finally it was time for me to leave so I went through my usual "exit procedure."

"I think I'll leave now (I don't say go home, I say leave) and I'll see you tomorrow. OK?" I wait for my statement to register and for him to acknowledge.

Sometimes he is light about my leaving and replies "OK." Other times he gets sad or needs to tell me about something (which he usually is unable to do,) so I stay a little longer and then go through the "exit procedure" again.

Yesterday, CLEAR AS DAY, he said "OK, I love you so much!" Clear as day.

I gave him a big hug and kiss saying, "I love you so much more (more being a play on words we always used to do.)

He came back with, "More please." So we hugged more, more and more.

Little events like this make my world large!
