when skies are grey

 

you are my sunshine...my only sunshine.

you make me happy~ when skies are grey...

you never know dear, how much i love you.

please don't take my sunshine away..

that's kinda how it feels.  

feels like someone took

our sunshine away.

tonight, i heard olivia start to cry a few minutes

after we tucked her in.

i thought maybe she was trying to stall 

and was going to tell me an old recess wound needed a band-aid.

and then, she started this pure sob.

i went in and laid next to her.

she could barely make out the words.

i knew what she would say before she even said it.

the sunshine song was playing on her cd player.

 she remembered that we gave amma a card 

with this tune in it last year for her birthday...

i asked her if she wanted me to change the song-nope.  

she wanted to hear the whole thing.  

so, we just laid there.

 we listened to it a few times

and just let the tears come until she fell asleep.

we miss our amma.
