A Childs Promise.

This Friday night seemed just like any other with Mom and I lounging on the sofa watching the Grand Ole Opry. I could feel the joy that the Opry brought to my mom just by the look in her eyes as she watched, listened, and sometimes sang. Well she hummed more than she sang but that was my mom's way of singing. As we watched her eyes would glow. Sometimes I would see a sparkle. …

…and slipped something in my hand. As she did she told me not to open the tiny box until we returned home. I agreed. After returning each to their home, I returned to mine. I couldn't wait to open the box. I ripped off the pretty white bow and inside was a beautiful silver locket. I opened the locket and there was a picture of my Mom and the inscription "I knew that you would".
