Boys

Do your hear them?

 

The stories in my head begging to get out.

 

Alas, it’s late.

 

And mama’s tired.

 

Two towheaded little boys.

 

The cutest guys ever, except for my two guys.

 

One is button down, shirt tucked in, belted, perfectly dressed. The other, well, let’s just say he looked like he barely survived a cat fight. Or maybe just rolled out of bed.

 

These little darlings were perfect gentlemen. One quieter, more reserved in his story telling, the other full-on animated charm.

 

The two of them threw me back in time.

 

Be still my heart.

 

Those who know my boys know which one is which.

 

My two, as these two precious Texas boys will be, are fine men.

 

Fine I tell you.

 

The rambunctious, animated child? He is now a very disciplined Army man.

 

The other, well I hear he’s saved a life or two.

 

Life is good.
