Christmas Surprises

by Jenn Faulk

  "Still a puppy," Micah said, all but reading my mind. "It's like having a baby."

  And with that, the very mention of baby, we're at the hospital.

  "You know," I said, my mind going back through all the people we love and all the people who fill our lives, "they'll probably release Maddie and Sawyer both to go home on Easter Sunday."

  Micah smiled, even as he found a parking spot. "Sure will make a great Easter memory."

  "Best Easter ever, I think," I said, sighing contentedly at how life is not perfect all the time... but it's still pretty wonderful.

  "Let's go, Mommy," Mia said, even as she and Zoe unfastened their seatbelts.

  And so we did.
