Sunday Scribblings: First Memory

I had a wonderful childhood. I can’t imagine anyone having a more blessed life than what I have lived. I have many snippets of memory tugging at me, but one that I love includes my sweet father.

It was bedtime, and although I am not an only child, at this moment I feel like one. I am lying in my father’s arms, and it is dark all around us. We are in a rocking chair, gently squeaking the rhythm of his back-and-forward motion. He is singing me a lullaby, and when the song is finished, I beg him to sing it one more time. With a sigh, he begins again, and I sink deeper into the comfort of his arms.

I love you, dad.
