no one ever told me it felt so much like fear

today i spent a long time looking at old pictures. i really like the black and white ones my dad took of my mother when they were in college and he was madly in love. my mother also found this and woke me up from my nap to read it to me.

Once there lived a little girl named Megan. She loved to have her grandfather and grandmother visit and stay and play with her. One day when they came to visit, her mother had already made plans for her to visit and play at another friend's house. Megan didn't tell her mother that she really wanted to stay at home that day. She went off to her friend's house and soon began to think about her own home and her grandparents who were still there with her brother. She thought and thought and decided to ask if she could please go home.
Her little friend's mother called Megan's home to tell her grandfather that she wanted to come home. Her Grampie said that he would come and get her and bring her home. She was so happy.
After her friend's mother had hung up the telephone, she asked Megan, "How will I know it's your Grampie?" Megan was so happy to tell her. "My Grampie has a fast green car. He wears a blue or yellow hat. When he takes off his hat, his hair is gray and white in the front, in the back the wind blew his hair off."
Sure enough, in just a little while along came the fast green car, out stepped her grampie with his yellow hat on his head. Her friend's mother said. "I knew you were Megan's grampie, she told me to look for you and your fast green car, and your blue or yellow cap.
Megan was very happy to see her Grampie. She was also very happy to get in his car and go back home.
The end.
