Two Tickets to Paradise

Imagine being six months old again. You wake up before sunrise refreshed and excited about another new day. Mornings are still new for you and filled with mystery. You’re on vacation in a new place, with new surroundings and a different routine. What could be more exciting? After an early morning of hard playing in your grandparent’s Florida home with your twin brother you collapse in total exhaustion. Strong, powerful hands pick you up and place you on the world’s softest couch. A heavy blanket is placed lovingly beside you to prevent your accidental rolling off the couch. The temperature in the sun room is warm, but the ceiling fan’s gentle sway layers you in a cool breeze. You sleep like a baby.
