The Litttle Things.

Three and a half years ago,my girl of twenty-three yrs passed away.During that 23 yrs we had 3 beautiful kids whom without them I would not be here to write this.As weird and somewhat sick as this may sound to some, we had a pact,that if one were to die,the other would join them within the hour of their passing.As I sat on the edge of my bed, thinking about how I was going to do this deed, my grand daughter,only 2 at the time walked into my bedroom,placed her head on my lap and looked up at me as if to say "dont worry grandpa, it's gonna be ok". At that very moment all thoughts of leaveing this world vanished.All I could do was lift her upp, squeeze her and cry.This innocent little child had saved my life and she didnt even know it.It was from that momeent that I stopped looking for the big things in life and started noticing all the wonderful little things in my life I had been over looking.That little girl (Ivana) is now 5 and still has no idea what she did.Im not sure if Ill ever tell her about that day but I do know that whenever I start feeling down or that my life is at a stand still, I stop and look around at the things I have around me and that feeling just melts away like butter.
